Mother Funeral Pay Attention
1,246 words
Emma and Meursault were both strangers to society
because of passion; Emma needed passion in a
society that condemned it while Meursault refused
passion in a society that promoted it. As early as
Part I Chapter 5, Flaubert makes it evident that
Emma is searching for passion. Before she was
married, she mistakenly thought she was in love
and therefore agreed to the marriage that could
not consummate her desire for a passionate
lifestyle. The world Emma lived in was constantly
trying to downplay p...

Miss Emily House Rose For Emily
2,179 words
Rose For Emily A Rose For Emily was written by
William Faulkner in 1931. Not only is this story
sad, and in the end a bit horrific, but it appears
to be somewhat autobiographical. It is written
with a certain first-hand knowledge. There appears
to be a direct link between Emily and the author,
not the narrator, but the author, William
Faulkner. Some indications of this relationship
can be found in the characters and the setting.
Mr. Faulkner seemed to be at a low point in his
life when he wrote ...

unfulfilled dreams. Loman often contemplates
suicide, dreaming about how people will actually
