 First Person (Peripheral Narrator)
 more rightly called "first people" than "first
person." Usually referring to itself as "we," the

for both.

Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, 1861-
1933 (approximately)

hereditary obligation upon the town.
 Went ill after fathers death.
 Tobe
 Miss Emily’s servant– Gardener/ Cook
 Left on miss Emily’s wake, and never came back.
 Homer Barron
 Involved with Miss Emily.
 The man Miss Emily murdered.
 Jeffersonians don't like him because he's a rough-
talking, charismatic northerner and an overseer in
town working on a sidewalk-paving project
 Had sexuality issues- Then we said, "She will
persuade him yet," because Homer himself had
remarked – he liked men, and it was known that he
drank with the younger men in the Elks' Club – that
he was not a marrying man.
 Miss Emily’s Father
 A very strict father
 Drove away all the men trying to court miss Emily
 Colonel Sartoris
 Former mayor of the town
 Relieved miss Emily of her tax obligations
 "fathered the edict that no Negro woman should
appear on the streets without an apron"
 Judge Stevens
 "Dammit, sir, will you accuse a lady to her face of
smelling bad?"
 Old Lady Wyatt
 Miss Emily’s aunt who is described as
“completely crazy” by the townsmen
 The Cousins
 Miss Emily’s two female cousins
 Called in by the townsmen in order to stop miss
Emily from dating Homer Barron
Plot Analysis
 Initial Situation
 In the initial situation, we move from Miss Emily
Grierson’s funeral attended by everybody in town,
to this strange little story about taxes.
 Conflict
 New generation lawmen asks miss Emily to pay her
taxes
 Father’s death- miss Emily can’t accept the fact
 Miss Emily met Homer Baron
 Complication
 The town was horrible to Miss Emily when she
started dating Homer Baron
 Miss Emily’s cousins came to town
 Climax
 Things didn’t workout for miss Emily’s plans so
she decides with a radical plan.
 Miss Emily buys an arsenic at the drugstore
 Suspense
 Miss Emily’s act of buying an arsenic spread
through the town
 Gossips if miss Emily and Homer are married or
not
 Homer was last seen entering miss Emily’s home
at night
 Denouement

and her death
 The mystery of her life
