Rose For Emily Plays A Major Role
1,524 wordsThe use of literary devices such as diction and symbolism are crucial elements in establishing characterization. The diction, writers choice of words, much be appropriate for the characters and the situations in which the author places them (Meyer 234). Therefore, William Faulkner's diction in A Rose for Emily will differ greatly from Ernest Hemingway's Soldiers Home. Hemingway uses the Krebs family home and Faulkner uses the element of time as symbols. The home and the element of time are symbo...

1,159 words... to those angels in coloured church windows- sort of tragic and serene. It gave me the image of someone with a child-like innocence who clearly was in dire need of some help, she sounds very lost. The other thing that grabs me about this description is the use of the word angel which I find ironic considering that we later find out that she keeps a corpse locked away in an upstairs room. Its safe to maybe say that she is an Angel of death. The other character that keeps coming up in this stor...

Rose For Emily Homer Barron
1,626 words... Faulkner had never attached any importance to the character of manservant and, in all probability, it simply never occurred to him that anyone would be asking questions, regarding the issue. Don't let us forget that Faulkner himself came from the family of wealthy Southern landowners, whose predecessors owned slaves. Therefore, it would be rather naive to think that Faulkner had a progressive attitude towards the Black people. It is a common mistake of critics-beginners: they automatically a...
