William Faulkner's A Rose For Emily
A ROSE FOR EMILY
William Faulkner
I. AUTHOR:( MS DUYÊN) William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25,1897. His family moved to Oxford, Mississippi, just before he was five and we can see that this place marked his sense of humor, his sense of the tragic position of Black and White Americans, his characterization of Southern characters, and his timeless themes, including fiercely (adv. dữ dội) intelligent people dwelling behind the facades( = outside) of good old boys and simpletons( = idiot) . Faulkner belonged to a once-wealthy Southern family of former plantation owners.

Usually referring to itself as "we" the narrator speaks sometimes for the men of Jefferson, sometimes for the women, and often for both. It also spans( kết nối, kéo dài qua) three generations of Jefferson people, including the generation of Miss Emily's father, Miss Emily's generation, and the "newer generation," made up of the children of Miss Emily's contemporaries. The narrator is pretty hard to describe their treatment of Miss Emily may have led to her downfall( sự sa sút, sự suy sụp). While we are on the subject of "we," notice no one townspeople is completely responsible for what happened to Emily. The willingness of the town to now admit responsibility is a hopeful sign, and one that allows us to envision a better future for generations to come. I think Emily’s murder was very complex. There was to save her love existing. Emily was a woman having an unsual life. Therefore, when she lost the one she love, her action is very strange. Killing and preserving a dead body is not a kind of action which a simple person can do. Of course, we could not tell that her action is righ but we should sympathize her. Her action is the only choice to save her last happiness. What was a reason that brought her to that life and that action? Was it her father, people in town, Homer Barron or the fate? Maybe that is a question from William Faulkner bringing to us. Each of person will have their own answer. At least we should think and sympathize her. That is the stalemate and miserable life of people whose body was in presence but soul and mind belonged to the past in the society of that
