Another View of Faulkner's Narrator in "A Rose for Emily"Michael L. BurduckIn a recent article, Hal Blythe discusses the central role played by the narrator in William Faulkner's gothic masterpiece "A Rose for Emily." Focusing on Miss Emily's bizarre affair and how it affronts the chivalric notions of the Old South, the narrator, according to Blythe, attempts to assuage the grief produced by Miss Emily's rejection of him by relating her story; telling her tale allows him to exact a measure of revenge. Faulkner's speaker, without doubt, serves as a pivotal player in this tale of grotesque love. Although Blythe grasps the significance of the narrator's place in the story, he bases his argument on a point that the story itself never makes completely clear. Blythe assumes that Faulkner's narrator is male. The possibility exists, however, that Faulkner intended his readers to view the tale-teller as being female.Hints in the text suggest that Faulkner's speaker might be a woman. The narrative voice (the "we" in the story), a spokesperson for the town, appears very concerned with every detail of Emily's life. Faulkner provides us with an important clue concerning the gender of this narrator when he describes the townspeople's reaction to Emily's attachment to Homer Barron: "The men did not want to interfere, but at last the ladies forced the Baptist minister...to call upon her." Jefferson's male population seems apathetic regarding Emily's tryst; the men are not the least bit scandalized. The females in town (the "we" in the tale) are so concerned with Emily's eccentricities that they force their men to act; one very interested female in particular, the narrator, sees to it that Emily's story is not forgotten.This coterie of Jefferson's "finer" ladies (represented by the narrator) seems highly offended by Emily's actions. This resentment might stem from two primary causes. First, the ladies (the phrase "the ladies" appears throughout the tale and might refer to the "proper" Southern belles living in town) find Miss Emily's pre-marital relationship immoral. Second, they resent Emily's seeing a Yankee man. In the eyes of these flowers of Southern femininity, Emily Grierson becomes a stain on the white gown of Southern womanhood.Despite their bitterness toward Emily, the ladies of Jefferson feel some degree of sympathy for her. After her father's death, the ladies reminisce: "We remembered all the young men her father had driven away...." Later, Homer Barron disappears, prompting this response: "Then we knew that this was to be expected too, as if that quality of her father which had thwarted her woman's life so many times had been too virulent and furious to die." These intensely felt statements suggest how a woman might react to another woman's loneliness; the narrator seems to empathize with Miss Emily on a woman-to-woman basis. Faulkner himself sheds interesting light on this matter when he describes Miss Emily as a woman "that just wanted to be loved and to love and to have a husband and a family," The women of Jefferson know that Emily, a fellow woman, possessed these feelings, and as women they feel as if some sort of biological bond links them to "the last Grierson." Unlike the majority of the ladies in town, Miss Emily experienced neither the joys of marriage nor the fulfillment of child-bearing. If the ladies did not view Emily in a sympathetic way, would they have sent their daughters to her house for china-painting lessons?Another possible reason exists for the speaker's sympathetic view of Emily. Our narrator knows (perhaps from the druggist) that Emily purchased poison, ostensibly to kill "rats." One slang use of the term "rat" applies to a man who has cheated on his lover. Perhaps Faulkner's tale-teller suspects that Emily feared that Homer would not remain faithful to her. In order to "keep" Homer by her side, Emily poisoned him. The speaker might sympathize with Emily somewhat because she believes that Emily did what she could to retain Homer's companionship and insure that he would not give her up for another woman. Faulkner's female narrator does not approve of Miss Emily's methods, but she understands what promptedthem: Emily's weariness of being alone.An additional clue regarding the narrator appears toward the end of "A Rose for Emily" when Faulkner's speaker emphasizes the first-person pronoun "they." Previously, our narrator has used "we" to indicate the town's collective female element. After Miss Emily is buried, the tale-teller relates how the residents of Jefferson learned of the gruesome secret lying upstairs in the long-closed bedroom. She makes one point very clear: " They waited until Miss Emily was decently in the ground before they opened it [my italics]." The "they" in this sentence are people strong enough to break down the door of this death chamber. Since most ladies in Jefferson would not be strong enough to force in a door, might not the reader assume that these initial intruders are men? The ladies follow the men into the room and make their ghastly discovery: "For a long while we [my italics] just stood there looking down at the profound and fleshless grin."The reader is left with a very important question: why would a lady desire to repeat Miss Emily's story? The narrator's "dual vision" (as Blythe calls it) provides a clue. As a woman offended by Emily's actions, the speaker relates this tale of necrophilia in an attempt to vindicate Southern womanhood. She wants her listeners to understand that Emily was not representative of the typical "Southern Lady." Perhaps familiar with Caroline Bascomb Compson, Joanna Burden, and Rosa Coldfield, other infamous females living in the Jefferson vicinity, the narrator wants to convey to her audience that virtuous women (such as herself?) do still live in Jefferson. On the other hand, the speaker's sympathy for Emily, a woman lost in her own particularly lonely world, also prompts her to recall the tragic events of Emily's sterile life. As a woman, the tale-teller allows her heart to go out to "poor Emily."Viewing the narrator of "A Rose for Emily" as a woman allows the reader to enjoy Faulkner's tale from a unique perspective. Indeed, such an interpretation offers an interesting alternative reading that emphasizes the important role women play in the fiction of Oxford, Mississippi's Nobel laureate.(Source: Michael L.

Frankenstein
• "Frankenstein" (The Modern Prometheus) is first "science fiction" in western literature, which is born in the Geneva lake by the Mary Shelley (Mary Woolstonecraft Shelley) hand. Originally published in 1818, more popular versions are published in 1831 as the third edition, which belongs to the Gothic novels influenced by the romantic influence. Later, some scholars think that the origin of the story can be viewed as a horror fiction or science fiction. The origin of the novel Frankenstein, is also the mad doctor in the story.
威廉福克纳 介绍William Faulkner
I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
William Faulkner
(1897-1962)
---One of the greatest writer in 20th century
---initiator of Southern Renaissance ---one of the most influential modernist novel writers in the West
所以我们今天的悲剧带有普遍性和全 球性,这种肉体的恐惧由来已久,绵 延至今。以致我们几乎难以承受。精 神不再被关注,人们只关注一个问题: 我什么时候才能一鸣惊人?
Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.
(P4)只有当他重温了这些,他写作起 来才会如同亲临其境,如同亲历人的 结局。我不屑于接受人的终结。谁都 可以脱口说出:人是不朽的,就因为 他可以忍耐;在夜幕四合时分,即便 临终的钟声在残阳映照的最后一块荒 芜的枯石上响过、消逝,仍将还有一 个声音:他的声音仍在叙述,微弱而 不绝如缕。我拒绝接受这些。

William Faulkner 威廉福克纳〔1897-1962〕William Faulkner ranks with Ernest Hemingway as one of the leading American authors of the Twentieth Century. Faulkner, like Robert Frost, was a regionalist, who spent most of his life in a small, particular area of the United States, writing about the scenes and people he knew best. Faulkner’s region was the Deep South, with its bitter history of slavery, civil war and destruction. He invented a countyand a town in his imagination very similar to his own part of Mississippi, and he wrote about the society in the South by inventing families which represented different social forces: the old, decaying upper class; the rising, ambitious, unscrupulous class of "poor whites〞; andthe Negroes who labored for both of them. Most of his stories takeplace in this imaginary Yoknapatawpha County, and concern members of the same families at different times inhistory. 他的多数故事都发生在他设想的Yoknapatawpha县,他笔下的人物不是一次写完,同一人物会在几本书中,在不同历史时期反复出现。

Writing
From the early 1920s to the outbreak of WWII, when Faulkner left for California, he published 13 novels and numerous short stories, the body of work that grounds his reputation and for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize at the age of 52.
Life Experience
Influence of His Family His own family found a way in his novels. Mississippi marked his sense of humor, his sense of the tragic position of blacks and whites, his characterization of Southern characters and timeless themes, including fiercely intelligent people dwelling behind the faades of good old boys and simpletons
『美国作家William Faulkner 在接受1949年诺贝尔文学奖时所作的受奖演说』
William Faulkner: Nobel Prize SpeechStockholm, December 10, 1950I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work—a life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand where I am standing.Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only one question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid: and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands.Until he learns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice andendurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.“成千上万人疯狂下载。

William Faulkner’s Style in “A Rose for Emily”
William Faulkner’s Style in “A Rose for Emily”——Veronica William Faulkner is one of the most influential American writers in the 20th century. Most of his writings vividly portray the downfall of southern aristocrats after the American Civil War. A Rose for Emily focuses on Emily, the last member of a southern aristocracy family, and her isolated life. In this short story, Faulkner uses variety of writing styles to reflect Emily‟s deformed personality and miserable fate and reveal t he cause of her tragedy. This essay will present Faulkner‟s style in this short story from three aspects: words, sentences, and chapters.1.From the Aspect of WordsIn the choice of words, Faulkner usually uses some onomatopoeic words to give a vivid description of the certain situation. Onomatopoeic words imitate the real sounds, which could make readers associate the sounds with the activities of characters in the story. In the sentence “She did not ask them to sit. She just stood in the door and listened quietly until the spokesman came to a stumbling halt. Then they could hear the invisible watch ticking at the end of the gold chain”. “ticking” is an onomatopoeic word. When the officials come to visit Emily, her attitude towards them is absolute indifferent with extreme pride, which makes the visitors so nervous and upset that they can even hear the sound of Emily‟s invisible watch. The readers can easily experience the embarrassingatmosphere at that moment. Onomatopoeic words can also be found in the sentence “This behind their hands; rustling of craned silk and satin behind jalousies closed upon the sun of Sunday afternoon as the thin, swift clop-clop-clop of the matched team passed: …Poor Emily‟”. “clop” is the sound of houses‟ hoof while running. From this onomatopoeic word, the readers can also experience the citizens‟ responses to Emily‟slove---their shock, nervousness, and antipathy.Faulkner also use some repeated words to make some special effects. For example, “poor Emily” appears six times in this story. It‟s the comment from citizens, and also the words from Faulkner‟s bottom of heart which is showing his great sympathy for her tragedy. While describing Emily‟s house, the word “dust” is also used several times to show her unwillingness to clean her house which may reflect her insistence to the past. This word repetition can give readers a vivid portrait of Emily--- eccentric and stubborn.2.From the Aspect of SentencesUsing long sentences with complex structure is another significant writing style of Faulkner. The description of Emily‟s house is taken as an example: “It was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily lightsome style of the seventies, set on what had once been our mostselect street”. The sentence gives readers a solemn feeling, just as the building style of the house, which may tell how the owners of the house used to be respected. Besides, the author puts the important information ---“set on what had o nce been our m ost select street” to the end of this long sentence, in order to stress Emily family‟s glorious history. Such examples can also be seen in the sentence “When we saw her again, her hair was cut short, making her look like a girl, with a vague resemblance to those angels in colored church windows---sort of tragic and serene”. Faulkner also puts his own conclusion to the end to give readers certain time and room to imagine and judge by themselves towards Emily‟s change.Faulkner is also good at using sensible sentences to make sure the readers can see, smell, fell and touch what he could like to describe. This can be seen clearly in the description of Emily‟s house, such as “It smelled of dust and disuse---a close, dank smell” and “When the Negro opened the blinds of one window, they could see that the leather was cracked; and when they sat down, a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray”. Emily symbolizes the past and her house also conveys a feeling of downfall, which is vividly presented by Faulkner. In these two sentences, the description of dust, smells, and sun-ray makes the reader‟s feelingssensitive enough to experience the horrible and dead atmosphere of the house.3.From the Aspect of ChaptersAnother feature of Faulkner writing style is the violation of chronology in the narrative structure. Instead of being told the story from Emily‟s birth to her death, Faulkner puts Miss Emily‟ Funeral at the beginning of this story, then he describes her family's former pride and glory, and her victory in the conflict with “next generation” in the first chapter. In the second chapter, the author describes another conflict between Emily with the local citizens after her father‟s death. The third chapter is about Emily‟s love with Homer Barron and the affair of she buys poison. Then the fourth chapter is about the failure of her love and her isolated life. In the last chapter, the author turns back to the occasion when the Emily died and exposes the macabre truth of this story. It may be difficult for readers to understand the story with the shift of time sequence, but after reading the whole story for several times, the readers are all appreciate Faulkner‟s unique writing skills in controlling of the theme.Although A Rose for Emily is just a short story, and not regarded as a typical work of Faulkner, it really reveals that Faulkner‟s distinctivewriting style. All in all, William Faulkner deserves the honor of “the greatest southern writer”.参考文献【1】赵青. The Stylistic Analysis of “A Rose for Emily”. 科技信息外语论坛. 2010年第一期.【2】张莉.

The county seat, Jefferson town, resembles Faulkner’s hometown of Oxford in many particulars—but without Oxford’s University of Mississippi campus. His own family history found a way into his novels. He tries to transcend the limits of particularity to reach universality.
Faulkner’s Techniques: Faulkner is a master of modernist experimentation in the novel, related to his obsession with time. (shift of time) Multiple voices: how characters react differently to the same person or situation. Stream-of-consciousness: telling a story by recording the thoughts of a character.

In 1932 MGM Studios offered Faulkner work as a screenwriter in Hollywood. In 1949, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Faulkner died from heart attack on July 6, 1962 and was buried in his hometown.
