Isolation And Loneliness in A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner In many works of literature, some characters isolate themselves from society due to certain events that happen in their life that make them isolate themselves. Isolation from the society can cause loneliness in ones life. In “A Rose For Emily”, William Faulkner suggests that isolation from society can cause people to do unspeakable acts because they are lonely. The main character, Emily Grierson lives her life under her father. Her father thinks that no man is good enough for his daughter. Therefore, he pushes anyone who comes near his daughter. After living like this for so many years, Emily is left with nothing after her father dies. “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will ” (417) Due to that fact that her father has driven all the men who wanted to enter her life, she is left alone after her father’s death. Her attitude towards men is affected by her father. Therefore she isolates herself from others because she is used to living under her father which causes her to become lonely. Miss Emily does not go out for some time after her father’s death until she meets a man named Homer Barron. They are together for a long time and everyone in town thinks that they will be married soon. However, after this rel...
Life is sad and tragic; some of which is made for us and some of which we make ourselves. Emily had a hard life. Everything that she loved left her. Her father probably impressed upon her that every man she met was no good for her. The townspeople even state “when her father died, it got about that the house was all that was left to her; and in a way, people were glad…being left alone…She had become humanized” (219). This sounds as if her father’s death was sort of liberation for Emily. In a way it was, she could begin to date and court men of her choice and liking. Her father couldn’t chase them off any more. But then again, did she have the know-how to do this, after all those years of her father’s past actions? It also sounds as if the townspeople thought Emily was above the law because of her high-class stature. Now since the passing of her father she may be like them, a middle class working person. Unfortunately, for Emily she became home bound.

Local government bodies that had limited powers. The members were picked by 3 electoral colleges one for land owners, town dwellers, and peasants from rural communities. Everyone was represented, but the nobility had a greater say in the decisions due to electoral rules and property suffrage.

Although many policies were tweaked and changed, the extensive power of the autocracy was not affected by the reforms. The government reform that Alexander II established was made up of local governments that divided the country into provinces and districts, which each province and district was then put under the control of government systems referred to as zemstvas and dumas. This strengthened the autocracy by allowing Russia to have a more organized control over the country. Although this reform, and many others, improved not only public health, but literacy rates, and mortality rates as well. Nonetheless, because of the overwhelming power within the autocracy, the reforms do not change the simple fact that the tsar can overrule any decisions made anywhere within government. The Orthodox church during both the rule of Alexander II and Alexander III, had a special relationship with the autocracy, allowing it to use the church to manipulate and influence the public. The Orthodox church acted as a process used by the Tsar to influence loyalty to the tsar through preaching. Alexander II, in one way or another had to put in place some reforms, his reforms were ultimately to modernize the least he had to. Alexander II realized that some reform was necessary to enhance nationalism, and to keep all groups in the population in some way satisfied, all
Monarchies have been the major system of government in European countries for many centuries. The two major forms of monarchy are absolute monarchy and constitutional monarchy. A nation under a constitutional monarchy is governed by a group of elected representatives and the monarch, who is restricted in power by law, acts as a figurehead. This ensures that the citizens of the country have a voice and cannot be controlled by the whims of one single person, which is what occurs in an absolute monarchy. A recurring theme amongst absolute monarchs is that they ignore the natural rights of their subjects, or ignore them altogether. They can do whatever they please because they have complete control over their country and their subjects. Many great empires have fallen due to the corruption of its rulers and in the past one hundred and fifty years, Russia has been no exception. In fact, Russia is one of the most popular examples of absolute power gone horribly wrong and some

Czarist Government: Czarist government is similar to an autocratic or dictatorial way of government. This is how Russia was ruled in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. This method of government was important to the Russian revolution because the revolution “really came out of the failure of the czarist government to reform in the several decades that preceded the 1917 events” (Russian revolution).
The setting that takes place in this novel really connects with the future he travels too. For example how the Eloi 's live a carefree, work free life filled with fruit in a big house.
