    ' Every author or playwright has a distinct ‘voice’; how they apply their words through expression and the use of language. This is how we [the audience or reader], can tell the difference between Lady Macbeth’s personality and ambitions, and the woman in the Laboratory’s. Robert Browning has chosen the medium of poem, and Shakespeare is a playwright. Although very different forms of literature, both writers manage to convey solid characters through their own methods. For instance, Lady Macbeth is strong willed; an example of this is when she persuades her husband to kill King Duncan, and when he hesitates at the thought, she says ‘…we’ll not fail!’ This gives Macbeth the assurance he needs to go on, showing he also respects his wife and trusts her judgement, or that he is slightly scared of her – she is a formidable character, ‘…infirm of purpose…’. We can also say the lady in the Laboratory is also exceptionally motivated, wanting to kill her lovers new girlfriend, ‘…say ‘no!’, to that pulses… come-and-go’. She is also an intimidating character, ‘…quick – is it finished?’…

    In “A Rose For Emily,” William Faulkner portrays Emily as a prestigious young woman of the old south, that later became an obligation. Emily Grierson, the last living member of the oldest and most prestigious family of Jefferson, is fondly remembered by the town citizens for her past lifestyles that she represented. Women of the old south and of a “good family” were often put on pedestals of virtue and respectability, given special treatments as ladies: “When the next generation, with its more modern ideas, became mayors and aldermen, this arrangement created some little dissatisfaction” (Faulkner 91). Much respect, which Emily demands, is freely rewarded by the Jefferson townspeople. However, when Emily refuses to abide by the rules of the town, she falls below the town’s expectations of a person of her status, and tension is created among the townspeople. Therefore, in William Faulkner’s “A Rose For Emily,” Emily Grierson becomes a fallen monument for the people of Jefferson.…
