Emily Grierson Living in the Past in William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily In "A Rose for Emily," by William Faulkner, Emily Grierson seems to be living with her father in what people referred to as the old South. However, most of the story takes place after the Civil War, but Miss Emily is clearly living in the past. As critic Frederick Thum pointed out, "Many people are able to survive in the present, but give little or no thought to the future, and these people usually live in the past.
Controversy in Palo's Heights On May 16, 2000, the Palos Heights City Council met to determine who would gain possession of the Reformed Church of Palos Heights.

And when the neighbors and Board of Aldermen complain about the smell coming from Miss Emily's house, Judge Stevens refuses to bother her about it. When the youngest alderman suggests that they send word to have her clean her house up, Judge Stevens replies "Dammit, sir, will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?"

In A Rose for Emily, the gap between the generation of Colonel Sartoris and the new board of alderman is bridged by Miss Emily's life.

Her house which is, "A big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily
flesh is trying to quench the Spirit (Nadler 91). On the other hand, Christians have responsibilities. Being filled with the Spirit, believers can walk in humility, contentment, purity, faith, love, as well as being a light to a world that is blind (Alderman 94). Jesus commands believers to “make disciples of all nations immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh [Holy Spirit]” (Matthew 28:19 TLV).

Interpretations of William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" has been interpreted in many different ways. Most of these rely solely on hints found within the story.

the Fury, Faulkner defines Southern literature. In his mythical county of Yaknapatawpha, Faulkner contrasted the past with the present era. The past was represented in Emily Grierson, Colonel Sartoris, the Board of Alderman, and the Negro servant. Homer Barron, the new Board of Alderman, and the new sheriff represented the present.

Plato one said “This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are”, to imply that the people within the city or country are the ones that dictate what goes on in the city not the city itself. St. Louis falls into this category because cities were once the focal point of the national agenda and presidents sought to increase the importance and services of the city. This was done in St. Louis with programs being created, unions and the attention that the World’s Fair brought to make St

Janet Adelman's Hamlet Janet Alderman in her essay "'Man and Wife Is One Flesh': Hamlet and the Confrontation with the Maternal Body" embraces the psychoanalytic tradition of Freud and Lacan in order to reveal the quadruple-angled relationship of the Hamlet monarchy. Focusing primarily on the relationship between Gertrude and her son, Hamlet, Alderman attempts to recast the drama as a charged portrait of Oedipal disillusionment and Lacanian sexual-abnegation. Appropriately, sexuality provides
