A Summary on “A Rose for Emily”
This story is about a woman named Emily Grierson. It tells us about the life she leads and how she lives it. It discusses her love life and death. “A Rose for Emily” is a story that rambles on and on about a rich, stuck-up woman that does absolutely nothing with her life.
In the beginning, we learn immediately that Emily has died. Judging by the way she treats the men that come to her house to talk about taxes after her father’s death, we can tell that she is every bit as stuck-up as everyone says. She, in my opinion, was arrogant simply because she had money and her last name was Grierson.
Despite her flaws, a man actually courts Miss Emily. His name was Homer Barron. The town is so happy for Emily because she has finally found someone that will marry her and be with her. But when Homer disappears, so does Miss Emily. She never leaves her house and has her servant do all of the errands. Finally, Emily dies and the townspeople go upstairs in her house and make a horrific discovery. Homer hadn’t disappeared of his own accord. Emily had killed him using arsenic she had purchased at the drugstore. She had left him lying in the bed they shared, rotting and decaying. She would lie beside his corpse, showing that she was quite obviously insane.
