Was Emily's tragedy being an only child
| ← Happiness | Brown: Reflection → |
In William Faulkner’s story “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily Grierson is a struggling character struggling with herself, her family and town. The struggle makes her act abnormally, deranged and inhuman. The stories title is an allegory Emily suffered a total tragedy, the kind that is irrevocably. Nothing could be done for her other that pity, thus Faulkner gives her a rose to salute her for her tribulations (Jelliffe, 70). Certainly, the root of her suffering was being the only child of her parents.
Being the only child left her no choice but to always be available to her father’s call. In fact the gossip by the townspeople held it is her father who shaped her action, action that we totally strange to humans. Emily could have found herself a good husband but her father did not allow her to venture out and find one. He demanded that she stay around and take care of him. Certainly, if she had had another sibling, probably they would have shared the responsibility of caring for their father and rose would have hard a chance to pursue her own happiness. However, her father character could still have provided a difficult obstacle.
Staying at home and taking care of her father denied her basic socialization skill necessary to interact with other people. Her father was very strict and did not allow her to see anyone. This actually denied her that ability to find herself a suitable husband thus leaving her to opt for the wrong choice of a husband the combination of manipulative force from her father, the town’s people and herself served to shape her into what she was (Brooks & Warren 158). He father literally ran off any man that came to see her and with time she became totally dependent on the father. He was her shield shielding her from the rest of the world. Faulkner clear presents this in a work of art, a portrait presenting Emily as slender figure dressed in white at the background and her father in foreground, “a spraddle silhouette” figure (Faulkner, 668).
The writer does not present to the reader any information concerning her mother. The father seems to be everything in her life and when he passes away, Emily is left alone. She seem to have lost her brother, her father, her, mother, sister and best friend all of which she had in the single person in the name of a father. She remains confused she is left alone have lived a life sheltered from the society with her guardian angle further who provided everything. She even considers him not being dead making the town’s people confused. She however accepts to burry him when people are just about to take legal action on this issue.
It is after her father’s death the detrimental effect of being sheltered from her father become apparent. To her illusion and reality has blurred out. Brooks & Warren 158 note this when Emily refuse to pay tax not recognizing the serving mayor demanding to an audience with Colonel Sartoris, who had died ten years earlier. She final falls in love with Homer a commoner making the rest of the people feel that she is at their level (Faulkner, 670). However, due to the fear of loosing her the way she los her father she decides to poison him feeling that killing him is the only way she would kill him forever. This was because she had been sheltered by her father through out her life and she had never experienced love before. She thus never wanted the feeling to subside and being a poor lover she thought that poisoning Homer is the only way she could keep him forever
Certainly, being the only child with no mother might have made her father adopt the kind of protective behavior he did exhibit. Something might have happened previously that made him behave the way he did. although the behaviors was intended to protect Emily it ended up being detrimental to he social life making her totally dependant on her father that in his absence she became confused helpless and irrational making many of the town’s people to perceive her as a mad or crazy woman (Fielder 142).

I am fully satisfied with my research paper. It cannot have been easy for your writers to compose! The topic is called, "PARALLEL ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX MULTIPLICATION OPERATIONS REPRESENTATION USING KARNAUGH MAP”. That is a very difficult topic! However, your writers developed an algorithm, included a diagram and a graph and related multi-dimensional matrix multiplication perfectly. I am thrilled with the work I received and will be using your company again in the near future. Thank you for all of your hard work on this project. I love it! |

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

I don’t see how anyone could write a paper about something as boring as the psychology of the two year old, could make it sound so interesting, but your writers managed to pull it off. Thank you for putting forth such a concerted effort to do a good job. I really appreciate it. I will use your service again |

Dear EssaysEmpire.com, I would like to put in a good word for Writer #32412. He was really under the gun. I didn’t give him much notice because I had my dates mixed up and my paper was due sooner than I expected. He didn’t let me down, though. He wrote until the paper was perfected. I handed it in on time got an A+ and wish your writers could accept tips, because I would leave this guy a HUGE one! |

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |

There are four things that I look for in a good writing service. #1. They have to be fast. A good writing service won’t miss an important deadline. #2. A good writing service will let customers actually talk to the writer who is working on their customer’s papers, so the customer can work out important details. #3. A good writing service will have a user-friendly website that is easy for the customer to use and #4, a good writing service will offer quality guarantees. EssaysEmpire.com meets all of this criteria and more. EssaysEmpire.com is the best writing service and has the reputation to prove it. I wouldn’t even consider using another writing service since experiencing the excellence that is EssaysEmpire.com! |

So often, when one deals with customer service, he or she is treated rudely. That was not the case with EssaysEmpire.com. The agents were helpful and friendly, knowledable and concerned. I, for one, was astounded with their competence. When it came down to the actual written material that I ordered, it was much better than I had anticipated. There are clearly some expert writers who work for EssaysEmpire.com. I would rate this writing service as exceptional, 5 stars out of 5 stars. I will happily return when I need help with another written work. |

The essay that your writers turned out for me far exceeded what I was expecting. It even came with a plagiarism report to prove that it was original. The customer service center was the picture of perfection, too. I loved everything about using EssaysEmpire.com and plan to use your services again. You are one class act! |

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |
