A rose for emily (iqra tariq )

“A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner was different. It didn’t feel Gothic in the beginning, but as the story went on I felt the unknown spooky feeling. We don’t seem to know much about Miss. Emily Grierson, but her father died so she barely went out. It seems Miss. Emily was quite lonely. The reader made her seem this sad lonely women who has nobody and lost her father and even her fiance. She also seemed very isolated, but personally I believed she had a secret, but never thought that she killed and kept her fiance. It seemed the quietness and isolation played in the Gothic feeling. It seems her father had control over her life, even her love life. Her father died, and her fiance was leaving her, I think her fear of being lonely and not having anyone to love made her do what she did. Her father leaving was her last family and affection and so when she died, she couldn’t be the same way.
