Narration Toward Books A Rose for Emily and Other Stories

A Rose for Emily, William Faulkner A Rose for Emily, is a short story by American author William Faulkner, first published in the April 30, 1930, issue of The Forum. The story takes place in Faulkner's fictional city, Jefferson, Mississippi, in the fictional southern county of Yoknapatawpha. It was Faulkner's first short story published in a national magazine. The story opens with a brief first-person account of the funeral of Emily Grierson, an elderly Southern woman whose funeral is the obligation of their small town. It then proceeds in a non-linear fashion to the narrator's recollections of Emily's archaic and increasingly strange behavior throughout the years. Emily is a member of a family of the antebellum Southern aristocracy. After the Civil War, the family falls into hard times. She and her father, the last two of the clan, continue to live as if in the past; Emily’s father refuses for her to marry. Her father dies when Emily is about the age of 30, which takes her by surprise. She refuses to give up his corpse, and the townspeople write it off as her grieving process. The townspeople pity Emily not only after her father's death but also during his life when he wouldn't let Emily marry. After her father's death, the only person seen moving about Emily's home is Tobe- a black man, serving as Emily's butler, going in and out with a market basket. Although Emily did not have a strong relationship with her community, she did give art lessons to young children within her town. The townspeople even referred to her as Miss Emily as a sign of the respect that they had for her. With the acceptance of her father's death, Emily somewhat revives, even changing the style of her hair and becomes friendly with Homer Barron. He is a Northern laborer who comes to town shortly after Mr. Grierson’s death. The connection surprises some of the community while others are glad she is taking an interest. However, Homer claims that he is not a marrying man, but a bachelor. Emily shortly buys arsenic from a druggist in town, telling him that it will be used to kill rats. However, the townspeople are convinced that she will use it to poison herself. Emily’s distant cousins are called into town by the minister’s wife to supervise Miss Emily and Homer Barron. Homer leaves town for some time, reputedly to give Emily a chance to get rid of her cousins, and returns three days later after the cousins have left. Homer is never seen again.... عنوانها: یک گل سرخ برای امیلی؛؛ انبار سوزی؛ دو سرباز؛ تاریخ نخستین خوانش: ماه می سال 1972 میلادی عنوان: یک گل سرخ برای امیلی؛ نویسنده: ویلیام فاکنر (فالکنر)؛ مترجم: نجف دریابندری؛ مشخصات نشر: تهران، پیام، 1350، در 119 ص؛ موضوع: داستانهای کوتاه از نویسندگان امریکایی - سده 20 م این نسخه تنها سه داستان دارد، داستانها: «یک گل سرخ برای امیلی از ص 7 تا 31»؛ «انبار سوزی از ص 35 تا 81»؛ «دو سرباز از ص 85 تا 119»؛ نقل از آغازین واژه های متن داستان: وقتی که «میس امیلی گریرسن» مرد، همه اهل شهرِ ما به تشییع جنازه‌اش رفتند. مردها از روی تاثر احترام‌آمیزی که گویی از فروریختن یک بنای یادبود قدیم در خود حس می‌کردند، و زن‌ها بیشتر از روی کنجکاوی، برای تماشای داخل خانه ی او، که جز یک نوکر پیر - که معجونی از آشپز و باغبان بود - دست‌کم از ده سال به این طرف، کسی آنجا را ندیده بود. این خانه، خانه ی چهارگوش بزرگی بود، که زمانی سفید بود، و با آلاچیق‌ها و منارها، و بالکون‌هایی که مثل طومار پیچیده بود، به سبک سنگین سده هفدهم (میلادی) تزیین شده بود، و در خیابانی که یک وقت گل سرسبد شهر بود، قرار داشت. اما به گاراژها، و انبارهای پنبه، دست‌ درازی کرده بودند، حتی یادبودها، و میراث اشخاصی مهم و اسم و رسم‌دار را، از آن صحنه زدوده بودند. فقط خانة «میس امیلی» بود، که فرتوتی و وارفتگی عشوه‌ گر و پا برجای خود را، میان واگون‌های پنبه، و تلمبه‌ های نفتی، افراشته بود –وصله ناجوری بود قاتی وصله‌ های ناجور دیگر. و اکنون «میس امیلی» رفته بود به مردگان مهم و با صلابتی بپیوندد، که در گورستانی که مست از بوی صندل است، میان گورهای سرشناس و گمنام سربازان ایالت متحده و متفقین، که در جنگ جفرسن به خاک افتادند، آرمیده‌ اند. پایان نقل. ا. شربیانی

Evaluate Epithetical Books A Rose for Emily and Other Stories

Move over Glenn Close, Miss Emily Grierson just showed you up!This is disturbing gothic necrophilia of the first order, and I did NOT see the last line of this story coming. How unsettling.Faulkner really delves into the more murky, psychological side of the gothic here instead of relying on its traditional set pieces (endangered young heroine, decaying castles, etc.).Emily really channels a darker Miss Havisham from GREAT EXPECTATIONS. And like Miss Havisham, Emily is obsessed with holding onto

Revisited after 20 years because I wanted to compare to a short story written by William Gay, The Paperhanger. I definitely like shock factor in literature. Faulkner perfected this story.

This collection of short stories was just so so for me. Faulkners writing is masterful as always but the stories all ended leaving me with a feeling of "what was the point?"

A Rose for Emily is possibly my favorite short story of all time. It is chilling and intriguing seeing Emily go from sympathetic young woman to a reclusive burden. Faulkner leaves just enough hints to make the reader question Emily, making the story a fun guessing game until the final passage, when her actions become clear. I really love the narration of this story, told by someone unknown, but representing the whole town of Jefferson as they watch Emily, one of the last reminders the town has

Faulkner's writing is flawless. His prose is rich, deep and makes the reader works for it. The mood is set to sombre with the very first line of the story and the narration takes a deep dive into the life of Emily. This short story is a great example for writing horror and macabre. Faulkner's writing shows that graphic depiction of horror and violence isn't necessary to creep the reader or feel the chills. Faulkner does it pretty neatly in this story with his prose.Don't miss this if you are a

This rating is for "A Rose for Emily" only. I did not read any of the other stories.

The perfect short story. So good that it gave me goosebumps! Masterfully controlled. Not a word wasted or ill-chosen. Subtlle humor builds quietly into abject horror. I'll be rereading this immediately.Poor Emily! *shivers*
