Miss Emily House Rose For Emily
2,179 wordsRose 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 ...
