In each story I read, I found one very interesting thing that I touched on in the forums. In A Rose for Emily, I noticed that the townspeople’s pity towards Emily indirectly killed Homer. Emily was a bit crazy, but the townspeople thought nothing of it, for example, when Emily wanted to keep her father’s corpse for a few days the townspeople thought it made sense since her father denied her a suitor. The townspeople knew Emily was not completely sane, yet Emily represented the confederacy and that was something the townspeople wanted to preserve, “Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation up the town…”. The townspeople’s negligence towards the care of Emily was shown when Homer disappeared.
