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 ...

when low-level quality-of-life offenses were
tolerated in a community, more serious crime would
follow. According to this view, broken windows,
