  • Metaphors In A Rose For Emily

    1616 Words  | 7 Pages

    Love can be damaging, and despite society’s common perceptions, it can affect individuals’ wellbeing internally, as well as externally. In the short story, “A Rose for Emily,” written by William Faulkner, the single image of a rose is subtly used in the title to portray a variety of metaphors that will be used throughout the story both figuratively and symbolically, actively illustrating the reality of love, and it’s many consequences. Faulkner uses the absence of a rose in the story to illustrate Miss Emily’s absence of love and emotion, as well as absence from society. In addition to that, he uses the idea of a ‘rose’ both figuratively, and objectively, as well as utilizing repetition of the word in portions of the text to emphasize his message. Analyzation of this short story can also reveal that Faulkner may have intended to use the history of roses’ uses and meanings to enhance the life of Miss Emily that he is attempting to portray.
