    When people talk about the word “fashion,” it automatically provides a sense of popular styles of clothing, accessories, and makeup. Fashion influences not only on people’s behaviors, but also influences society on a social and economic level. Sometimes, people show their social status through the consumption of luxury goods, while this trait can be found through the history of fashion. In Adorned in Dreams, the author Elizabeth Wilson introduces fashion’s history and through these changes, people can express different belief systems, social values, and public desires. In Subculture The Meaning of Style, Dick Hebdige introduces an example in Britain’s emergence of subcultures, which illustrates people had changed their social values and beliefs…

    From the beginning the character Emily is portrayed as a cherished “fallen monument” that has left the town. The town holds her up as a respected figure that gets passed from generation to generation with the traits of being “dear, inescapable, impervious, tranquil, and perverse.” However, Emily is constantly confined throughout the story, first by her father and second by her community. Her relationship with her father is one that depicts the male dominated south, where her father maintains complete control over her life until his death. Because of this domination by her father, Emily seeps into physical isolation. The physical isolation then becomes a symbol for the slow disappearance of the previous culture Emily can’t seem to let go. Throughout…

    After Emily’s father left when she was only eight months old, she was forced into a life filled with abandonment as she was passed from caregiver to caregiver, whether it be the neighbors, various daycares, her father’s family, or the convalescent home as her mother continuously struggled to make enough money to support them. Without a nurturing environment to grow up in or a mother there to properly care for her, Emily instead became, “thin and dark and foreign looking” (Olsen 236). She also grew somber in nature, became jealous…

    The Great Depression

    The setting takes place during a time of struggle and hopelessness in the United States, the Great Depression of the 1930’s. The birth of Emily, in this trying time, made for a much needed contrast to the sense of despair in the air. “She was a beautiful baby. The first and only one of our five that was beautiful at birth (312).” Here, it’s apparent the joy that every first-time mother has. This effervescent sentiment only lasts for eight months, though, when Emily’s father abandons his family. For a young mother living in those times, that is devastating. Being a single-parent mother in the 1930’s was unheard of and extremely taboo. She’d be seen as an outcast and a failure to her family. In her mind, the only option was to leave Emily to her ex-husband’s family, in order to make a better living herself and her daughter. Upon Emily’s return, at the tender age of two, the mother hardly recognizes her and sees her in a new light. The baby who was once beautiful is no longer. “I hardly knew her […] All the baby loveliness gone (313).” The culmination of separation, as well as the angst and disappointment that she felt for Emily’s father has taken effect and is now transferred to her daughter. Everything about Emily, from her appearance to her walk, now reminded…
