Faulkner/Rose for Emily
A 3 page essay that examines William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" in terms of how the structure, tone, and imagery of the story conveys a critical analysis of the social pressures that shaped the lives of women in the Southern upper class during the first half of the twentieth century.
