William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily"

William Faulkner chooses an interesting title for his story about a woman confined to her past. The story is filled with many symbolic references, but none as interesting as its title. “A Rose for Emily” allows us to explore what the upcoming events may entail. The title symbolizes Emily’s superiority to the town, her choice of seclusion, and the ultimate fall of her sanity and life.

Though a rose may have its bloom, it still has its thorns.
