A Rose For Emily Character Analysis
The text "A Rose for Emily," is a story of a strange southern woman that does not handle death
very well and attempts multiple times to keep the dead bodies of her loved ones. The people in
her town, Jefferson, never diagnosed her with an illness. Yet, had the townspeople had a chance to
speak with her daily and understand her, they would have seen that she was a crazy woman. Rather
than just constantly feeling sorry for her the way that everyone did and looking past the idea that it
was just her way of coping and handling death. After careful evaluation of the story, using the
psychological strategy, the main character of " A Rose for Emily," Miss Emily Grierson is a
delusional character. In the beginning, it states that, "A deputation waited upon her, knocked at the
door through which no visitor had passed since she ceased giving chinaโ€“painting lessons eight or ten
years earlier." (W. Faulkner, 85) This indicates that Miss Emily was isolated, she cut herself off
from the community and did not have much social interaction in a long period. This was after her
father's death, this may have partially contributed to Miss Emily losing her touch and becoming a
delusional woman. As well as, Miss Emily isolating herself away from everyone for all those years.
These are both contributing factors to what may have led Emily Grierson to become this way. It is
almost impossible to not want to evaluate Miss Grierson with the psychological strategy as she shows
