Past Present And Future Faulkner Use Of Symbolism Death
375 words
William Faulkner's A Rose For Emily portrays a
post-modern culture of the old south. More
specific in this story, images of death are
fashioned by Faulkner's use of symbolism. However,
in an unintentional and seemingly chronological
way, death is symbolic within the past, present
and future in the form of the stench, the house,
and the arsenic. When anything becomes a stench,
either rotting or decomposition are occurring. As

from Ms. Emily's estate....

Rose For Emily Miss Emily
520 words
"A Rose for Emily" is a mysterious short story
written by William Faulkner. He uses many
techniques to enhance the story's mysterious
setting, such as foreshadowing and an out-of-order
time sequence to alter the mood and perception of
the story. The setting of Faulkner's story is very
similar to that of his own in his adolescent
years. The time is shortly after the Civil War,
early 1900 's, and the setting is definitely in a
Southern atmosphere. Faulkner might have written
the story to portray a...

Back And Forth Pine Trees

Emily Dickinson Dickinson Poems
2,794 words
Anthony Hecht Again, this poem has been read as an
instance of Emily Dickinson's deliberate tact and
poetic strategy " in a generation which did
not permit her, without the ambiguity of the
riddle, to tell the truth... she early learned
that success in circuit lies. " I cannot
disprove that notion, nor do I feel obliged to;
but the poem seems to me to have a good deal of
religious significance that such a statement
inclines altogether to flout: And it came to pass
