A Rose for Emily is a short story composed by William Faulkner that tells the life of a young woman ruled by her fathers intentions of her marrying into a wealthy family but he constantly turns them away all while Emily is growing much older and past her prime. ... The rose is an elaborate form of symbolism and connotation throughout A Rose for Emily. The content and the narrative of the story support the rose as a significant symbol. Faulkner also uses a voice outside of the story within the title to enhance the message behind the story of Emily Grierson.
Faulkner symbolically uses the rose as a gesture by Emily giving her respect the town failed to offer her. ... "When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men though a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house (Faulkner 28). ... As illustrated in the story, time was consuming Emily faster than she could die.
