English 2010 March 20‚ 2013 “A Rose for Emily” vs “Killings” The story “A Rose for Emily” was written by William Faulkner. The other story I am using to compare and contrast with is “Killings” written by Andre Dubus. These stories are similar in plot and theme. Both of these stories deal with murder‚ love and revenge.

After reading “Killings” by Andre Dubus‚ it is very clear that the main character‚ Matt Fowler shares many similarities and differences with Abner Snopes of “Barn Burning” by William Faulkner. Both Abner and Matt are father figures who seek revenge in order to feel at ease‚ but their thoughtless actions affect both their families and themselves. In both” Killings” and “Barn Burning”‚ revenge is used by both Matt Fowler and Abner Snopes to cheat the justice system. Matt Fowlers youngest son Frank

many ways in which this story could be explained through the title. Within this story there are physical and mental killings‚ so I think the best title would be Killings for this story. This story’s title should stay as Killings due to the fact that Frank and Strout both get killed physically while the other characters are killed mentally. Dubus discusses the emotional killing of Mary by talking about the swelling under her eyes from crying for multiple days. Frank’s brother‚ Steve‚ is angry towards
