Problem
I. Why does Faulkner title the narrative "A Rose for Emily"?
II. At the end of section II, the narrator says, "We remembered all the young men her father had driven away." What is the significance of this statement? How would you characterize Emily's relationship with her father? Her father's relationship with the town?
III. In section III, we learn that "the ladies all said, 'Of course a Grierson would not think seriously of a Northerner, a day laborer.' Why not? What are Emily's alternatives?
IV. What is the effect of the final paragraph?
V. Why does the narrator use the pronoun we? The narrator often speaks of "the town." What does "the town" signifies?
