In most writings an author looks for different ways to capture their readers.
is why readers are able to form opinions about what they have read. They create a point of view to try and evoke certain feelings so, we can have a better understanding of a character. In "A Rose For Miss Emily" by William Faulkner he expresses the theme of.
Individuality. He Created an idea of Individuality through Emily Grierson who becomes .
isolated not by choice, but by her father's demands. Emily's society look upon her .
with pity because she was a loner.
Faulkner in the beginning of the story uses Miss Emily's father as dominant .
figure over her. Faulkner states that "None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such"(2). Emily's father held her to such high standards that he never.
let her date anyone in the town. Emily never gets an opportunity to have a normal life .
growing up. Faulkner states .
We had long thought of them as a Tableau, Miss Emily a slender figure in .
white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground,.
his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the.
back flung of the door. So when she got to be thirty and was still single,.
we were not please exactly but vindicated; even with insanity in the family she wouldn't have turned down all of her chances if they had really materialize (3).
This imagery that is set forth by faulkner describes how Emily's father keeps her isolated and never interacts with society. The hold that her father keeps on her is the cause for Emily to never find a suitable gentleman. When Emily father dies she becomes a loner.
not of her will, but on her fathers. He let her live such a secluded live that all she had .
left was her servant. According to Faulkner "The day after his death (. . .) She told .
them that her father was not dead(3). Miss Emily now had to deal with the realization .
that she was alone and her father was gone.
