13. Discussion Questions
“A Rose for Emily” is narrated in first-person plural. Why did Faulkner choose “we” rather than “I” as the voice for the story? How might this narrative strategy be related to the description of Emily as “a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town?”
Trace the timeline of this story, and then analyze why the author decided to recount the tale in this manner. How does the order of the telling help shape the story’s meaning? What details foreshadow the story’s conclusion? What governs the five-part division of the story?

14. Discuss how this story might be viewed a s a conflict between North and South. Keep in mind that Homer Barron is a construction foreman and a northerner, while Emily Grierson comes from a genteel southern family. How might the physical descriptions of Miss Emily relate to this theme.
Look at paragraph 55. How do the diction, syntax, and imagery in this paragraph reinforce one of the story’s themes.

15. How is Miss Emily “a fallen monument”. To what is she a monument
How is Miss Emily “a fallen monument”? To what is she a monument? Why is she repeatedly called an “idol?” What connection can you draw between these images and one of the story’s themes?
Describe Emily’s relationship with her father. What details in the story support your view? How does this relationship influence the development of events in the story?
How does Faulkner create the surprise ending? Explain why Miss Emily was motivated to do what she did.
