This summary of this analysis is good because they did analysis of “A Rose for Emily”. They did use much info for the Faulkner and was very useful. He had much information on Faulkner’s past and his novels. He did focus more on his Faulkner than the book.

The analysis of Faulkner was very in depth because the research did more research on Faulkner then the novel. Many of the other researches did more on the novel then the Faulkner. It can be good because seeing the background how Faulkner grew up so he wrote his novels.

I will probable plan to use this information to write my bio on Faulkner because it has the most information on him. Like some of the information has in many info has back story and how he was brought up in the world. I think it would be good to use for bio for Faulkner.

This summary is varied because they have many different things in the analysis. They didn’t really focus on one thing on their analysis and jump from on thing to the next thing in the story. They try to keep the flow of the analysis short but are longer then the rest.

The analysis is ok but isn’t the greatest because writer can not focus on one thing. Also the writer goes to fast in pace when analyzing the story. The writer does a good job telling what happened but doesn’t tell a good job of what was really happening.

I don’t really plan to use this in my analysis but I want to use it by seeing by how the story goes. I also will probable use this by making a rough draft on what I

Faulkner 's work, “A Rose for Emily,” executes these goals admirably. The setting is particularly important in this work, as Faulkner uses settings to aid his depiction of Miss Emily Grierson and her conflicts with both the town and time.…

    William Faulkner, the laureate of Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, is considered one of the most influential writers of twentieth century American Literature. His talent is greatly shown in “A Rose for Emily”, a dramatic story about Emily Grierson’s hard life. She lives a real miserable life under her father’s overprotection. Her life should be better as she deserves. Unfortunately, she has no freedom to choose her “right” man. Nor can she be a wife and mother like others. Her father’s overprotection is obviously the root of all her monstrosities. (92w)…

    Since the Southern Gothic movement in literature was originated in late 18th and early 19th century, it shares some similarities with Dark Romanticism such as death, decay, and toxic relationships; however, Southern Gothicism is a genre of literature that has a very distinctive style of writing. In other words, while some of the main characteristics of Dark Romanticism have human imperfections along with the horrific symbols and themes, the Southern Gothic style employs the use of macabre and ironic events to examine the values of the American South. Flannery O’Conner and William Faulkner are two of the most iconic writers…

    A Rose for Emily

    • 803 Words
    • 2 Pages

    “A Rose for Emily” is an intriguing novel that engages the attention of all audiences because of the creative writing style of William Faulkner. Faulkner uses a means of foreshadowing, suspense, and flashback to form the plot of “A Rose for Emily” by strategically sequencing the elements together. Enough foreshadowing is provided in order to understand the overall setting and character of Emily, but not so much as to as to give away the surprise ending. Faulkner’s ordering of flashbacks are seemingly scattered about, but at the same time very thought out and well planned. What may seem to some readers as useless detail, is later deemed necessary to make loose ends meet.…
