A Rose for Emily 的评析(2010-06-21 23:49:34)转载▼标签：文化威廉.福克纳和他的《献给爱米丽的玫瑰》摘要：福克纳把南方的历史和现实社会作为自己创作源泉而成为美国南方文学的代表。
《献给爱米丽的玫瑰》通过爱米丽的爱情悲剧揭示了新旧秩序的斗争及没落贵族阶级的守旧心态，福克纳运用神秘、暗语、象征、时序颠倒等写作手法来揭示这一主题。
关键词：威廉·福克纳；献给爱米丽的玫瑰；南方小说一、威廉·福克纳的南方情结威廉·福克纳(William Faulkner，1897-1962)是美国文学史上久负盛名的作家之一，生于密西西比州一个在内战中失去财富和地位的没落的南方种植园家庭。
福克纳的大多数作品都以美国南方为背景，强调南方主题和南方意识。
在他19部长篇小说和75篇短篇小说中，绝大多数小说的故事都发生在他虚构的美国的约克纳帕塔法县(Yoknapatawpha county）和杰弗生镇。
这些作品所展示的生活画卷和人物形象构成了福克纳笔下的“约克纳帕塔法世系”。
“约克纳帕塔法世系”是以该县家族的兴衰、变迁为主题，故事所跨越的时间上起自印地安人与早期殖民者交往的岁月，止于第二次世界大战后，长约二百年。
他的世系小说依南方家系人物的生活而展开，以南方浓郁的泥土气息伴随着因工业文明而带来的焦虑、惶惑、无奈，把一百多年来即从1800年到第二次世界大战之后社会发展过程中，南方人所独有的情感和心态通过独特的艺术方式展示出来，可谓一部“南方生活的史诗”。
在这部史诗的字里行间，留下了作家的血与泪之痕：割不断爱恋南方古老精神的一片深情，可又抵御不了现代文明进程的必然性。
正如福克纳所说：“我爱南方，也憎恨它。
这里有些东西我本不喜欢。
但是我生在这里，这是我的家。
因此，我愿意继续维护它，即便是怀着憎恨。
”这种矛盾恰好构成了福克纳情感意识及其小说世界的无穷魅力。
结果，约克纳帕塔法县成了旧南方的象征，而福克纳也借此成功地表现了整个南方社会的历史和意识。

A Rose For Emily(献给艾米丽的玫瑰花)
试析《纪念爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》中的时间艺术与死亡主题摘要美国杰出的现代小说大家威廉·福克纳的短篇小说《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》运用了时序颠倒与循环叙事的独特艺术手法，从而展示了现代主义小说中关于时间艺术的理解和运用。
而福克纳更是将自己的时间观贯彻到了整篇小说的创作中，并在死亡主题这一特殊形式的的叙述中得到了深刻的体现。
关键词《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》时间死亡威廉·福克纳最负盛名的短篇小说《纪念爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》讲述了一位没落的南方贵族小姐亲手杀死自己的爱人，然后陪伴其尸身并在古屋中隐居四十之久的具有哥特式神秘、恐怖意味的故事。
南方淑女爱米丽小姐是旧贵族的象征，对于她的纪念是作为南方作家的福克纳对于逝去的旧南方的无限缅怀之情。
但另一方面，爱米丽的最终死亡也喻示了一座纪念碑的倒下，表明了作者对于最终湮没的南方社会既眷念热爱又批判其沉沦罪恶的矛盾心态。
时间，在传统现实主义小说的叙事中往往呈线性发展，“故事和情节小说遵循着时间的线形关系、事件的连锁关系体现为一种因果关系和时间上的线性顺序，任何外部事件都依赖于这样一种时间的线性关系”。
①在《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》这篇小说文本当中，我们很容易发现它的最大艺术特色就是时序的颠倒与循环叙事。
小说以爱米丽之死为叙述的起点，站在杰斐逊镇居民的视角上进行叙事，作者以倒叙的手法描述了爱米丽生前的几个主要事件。
在颠倒的时间顺序中，首先叙述的是爱米丽拒绝纳税事件，然后是富有神秘气息的尸臭事件，接着作者却把时间往过去推进，则出现了父亲之死，再接下来的与北方工头荷默恋爱及他与爱米丽发生冲突后爱米丽去购买砒霜，紧接下来荷默的消失与爱米丽小姐长达四十年的隐居生活之谜在小说的最后一部分终于被揭开。
古屋中楼上的房间中竟然躺着死去了四十年的荷默，“那尸身躺在那里，显出一度是拥抱的姿势，但那比爱情更能持久，那战胜了爱情的煎熬的永恒的长眠已经使他驯服了。
”②更让人心惊的是尸身旁边的枕头上遗留了爱米丽小姐的“一绺长长的铁灰色头发”。

a rose for Emily主要人物分析
主要人物分析艾米莉艾米莉是经典的局外人的角色，基本不与镇上的人接触。
居住在房子中的艾米莉给人们留下的大体印象就是：紧闭的大门，尘土，和黑暗。
艾米丽是一个沉默的神秘人物。
在一个层面上，她表现出的刻板南部“偏激”的特质：不平衡，惨烈，接受怪异行为。
艾米莉没有自己的法律意识和行为。
比如她拒绝支付她的税款或说出她的购买毒药的目的。
她也拒绝邮政给她的家编号。
当她放弃履行自己的义务时，她也最终尝到了苦果。
叙述者把艾米莉列为一种参观遗迹。
同时她可怜，经常受刺激，对生活条件有着极高的要求，没有结婚计划的事实，也成为了村民八卦的中心。
之后，她购买了毒药，乡民断定她会自杀。
艾米莉的不稳定性，导致故事汪另外一个方向发展。
后来人们发现了荷的尸体。
在一定的意义上，保存荷的尸体还描述了一个强大的愿望，控制另外一个人的愿望，也表示着对死去的人的依恋，这也是一种恋旧。
格里尔逊先生控制着艾米丽，在他死后，艾米丽控制着他拒绝放弃他的尸体。
她最终将这种控制转移到荷马身上---她心仪的对象。
而她除了这种方式她找不到其他的方式来控制他了。
荷马巴伦荷马，就像艾米莉是一个局外人，而这个陌生人也是乡民茶余饭后的讨论话题。
不过与艾米莉不同的是，荷马充满个人魅力，这也使他成为人们关注的中心和艾米莉的心仪对象。
刚开始，一些乡民不信任他，因为他既是一个北方工人。
他在周日经常与艾米莉外出，这让他引起很多人的反感。
艾米莉虽然古怪，但她处于一个更高的阶层中。
人们猜测他与艾米莉结婚的可能性，但他更像一个游戏人间的单身汉，他自己也说过不考虑结婚的话。
作为镇上铺设人行道公司的领班，荷马是北方和南方变化的一个标志，通过他也展现了南方上流社会的孤立状态。
荷马代表现代和产业化，进步就是颠覆传统的价值观，挑衅着传统主义并带去警告。
荷马给南方小镇带来了“创新”的概念，新的领导人追求用更“现代”理念的来改变这个世界。
荷马作为她的第一个真正的爱人，给她带来崭新的生活。
同样深刻的是，也是艾米莉疯狂行为的受害者，她的命运将在这里被永远地尘封。

A Rose for Emily概要
The Synopsis of A Rose for EmilyA Rose for EmilyPart1As Miss Emily died,all the people in the town went to her funeral. while the men attended the funeral out of obligation, the women went primarily because no one had been inside Emily’s house for years except a combined gardener and cook.It was a big, squarish frame house which had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies .Only Miss Emily's house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps-an eyesore among eyesores.When Miss Emily was alive, she had been a tradition, a duty, and a care. Emily had been a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town.This was because Colonel Sartoris, the former mayor of the town, remitted Emily’s taxes dating from the death of her father on into perpetuity. Apparently, Emily’s father left her with nothing when he died.A new generation of politicians took over Jefferson’s government. They were unmoved by Colonel Sartoris’s grandgesture on Emily’s behalf, and they attempted to collect taxes from her. She ignored their notices and letters. They called a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen. A deputation waited upon her, knocked at the door.Then they explained the reason for their visit, Emily repeatedly insisted that she had no taxes in Jefferson and told the men to see Colonel Sartoris. The narrator noted that Colonel Sartoris had been dead at that point for almost ten years. She sent the men away from her house with nothing.Part 2Two years after Miss Emi ly’s father’s death. There h ad been complaints about an awful stench emanating from Miss Emily’s house. The older generation, which feelt that it was improper to tell a lady that she stinks, arranged for a group of men to spread lime on her lawn and inside the cellar door of her house. All the while, she sat at a window, motionless.Some people found something smell bad around her house,but they decided not to tell her,because Judge Stevens said, "will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?"When her father died, Miss Emily counld not face the reality of his death and her loneliness.Part 3Miss Emily was sick for a long time. 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. A year later, Miss Emily, now over 30, entered the town’s drugstore and announces, “I want s ome poiso n.” When the druggist was reluctant to sell her any without a reason,she used her aristocratic bearing to intimidate him: “Miss Emily just stared at him, her head tilted back in order to look him eye to eye, until he looked away and went and got the arsenic and wrapped it up.” At this point, we had no idea why she wanted the poison, although it would become clear later that she used the arsenic to kill Homer Barron.Part 4The townspeople, never suspecting that the poison was intended for Homer, concluded that Miss Emily would likely use it to kill herself. After Homer announced to the men that he was not the marrying kind, the townspeople thought that his and Miss Emily’s relationship was a disgrace, and they tried to stop it.Sure enough, after another week they departed. And, as we had expected all along, within three days Homer Barron was back in town. A neighbor saw the Negro man admit him atthe kitchen door at dusk one evening. And that was the last we saw of Homer Barron, and of Miss Emily for some time. When we next saw Miss Emily, she had grown fat and her hair was turning gray. During the next few years it grew grayer and grayer until it attained an even pepper-and-salt iron-gray, when it ceased turning. Up to the day of her death at seventy-four it was still that vigorous iron-gray, like the hair of an active man.Part 5Her black servant met the mourners, who arrived at the house, then he walked out the back door and disappeared forever, apparently fully awared that Homer’s decayed body was upstairs. Upon her burial, the town began an inspection of the house that was closed for the last ten years. What they found was astonishing. Miss Emily had been hiding Homer's dead body. He was laid out in a bed; next to him was an imprint, and one of her long gray hairs.she wanted Homer to be her forever.131803范文博 080618。

福克纳小说献给艾米丽的玫瑰a rose for emily赏析来源于爱英语吧_人们之所以寂寞,是因为他们不去修桥,反而筑墙将自己围堵起来. ----埃默森 A ROSE FOR EMILY是威廉．福克纳非常著名的短篇小说，它特殊之处就在于它能够让人全神灌注地把整篇看完，之后仍然意犹未尽，又多么希望把整个故事说给别人听；虽然结局令人痛苦不堪，可是发人深省。
A ROSE FOR EMIL Y是一篇以爱为主轴的小说,也许它不浪漫也不激情，但在某些小地方总不经意的透出一丝感人的气息。
小说A Rose for Emily的主人公Emily，是南方的一个旧式大族在Jefferson镇最后的存留者。
小说从Emily去世讲起，并不是严格的顺序或倒叙，似乎随着叙述者兴趣点的转移，即兴地从一个事件讲述到另一个事件。
当然了，前面的所有都是为了结尾高潮的铺垫。
读到结尾，前面的那些零散的事件就变得脉络清晰了。
对于故事中的Emily小姐的一生，如果按照时间的顺序，大致是这样的吧：Emily小姐出身于老南方的一个显赫家族，当然，到了她这里，就只剩下门第的光辉和一座逐渐破败的老宅了。
在Jefferson镇，她是Grierson家族唯一的继承人。
镇上的人们对这个家族有一种习惯性的敬畏。
Emily小姐的父亲，严厉、专制、傲慢，认为所有的年轻人都配不上他的女儿，毫不留情地将Emily小姐的追求者们都赶出门外。
等到她的父亲去世的时候，Emily小姐已经年过三十，尚是单身。
除了一所老旧的大宅，她什么都没有了。
镇长先生免去了她的税务，并发明出一个理由来，说他的父亲曾经给了镇上资助，因此镇上要以这种方法进行报答。
而这居然被当时的人们接受了（虽然理由并不让人信服）。
此时Jefferson镇来了北方的建筑队，其中有一个工头叫Homer Barron，是那种极讨人喜欢的人，颇受当地人欢迎。
很快Homer获得了Emily小姐的青睐，俩经常在周末乘坐马车一起出去。
A_rose_for_Emily赏析
A_r o s e_f o r_E m i l y赏析-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Ⅰ.Introduction“A Rose for Emily”is a classic story representing Faulkner’s favorite subject, theme and style. The story is set in the town of Jefferson in his imaginary Yoknapatawpha County, the “mythical kingdom”. The story be gins with a funeral of the eponymous Miss Emily. It does not follow a particular order of chronological time. The narration flows backwards or forwards in a line of reality, revealing significant details of Emily’s life and the murder of the Homer Barron b y Emily, which are suspended till the end of the story. The narrative is also divided into five parts, allowing for flexible shifts in time and displays of Emily’s image at various stages of her life. Through the story about Emily, the author tries to pinpoint an unavoidable fate of the aristocracy and various changes in the South America after the Civil War.In this story, Emily Grierson, the main character, is a victim. Dominated by her father and his rigid ideas of social status, she has been prevented from marrying during her lifetime. One year after her father’s death, she falls in love with a northerner. When she finds that her lover is not going to get married with her, she poisons him so that she can keep him with her forever. Though the plot of the story is not complicated, yet it can be considered as a minor program of his works. In it are examples of Faulkner’s artistic preoccupations and techniques: the exploration of psychological reality, the social structure and mores of a southern community, the nature of time, and the relation of the past to the present. This paper will approach the story from the following aspects: analysis of Emily’s character, the root causes of her characters and her destiny.Ⅱ.Analysis of Emily’s charactersEmily is the main character, the protagonist of the story. In this story, the author mainly focuses and reveals the main character—Emily. In order to analyze Emily’s character, some question s have at first to be answered: What type is this story or what kind of theme this story plans to reveal When answering these questions, it becomes much easier to analyze her character. Miss Emily is kind ofquiet and perverse, proud and aloof, haughty, brave and tough, a representative of traditional convention and so forth. The followings are going to expatiate on them.Miss Emily’s haughty characterAt the very first, Emily is easy to be regarded as a haughty woman. In the story, the writer not only reveals the abnormal phenomenon of Emily’s grotesque character and her ill-sexed psychology, but also lively portrays her as a strong figure of haughtiness. Miss Emily Grierson is the socialite of her town. Naturally with this status there is a certain reputation she has to withhold. She not only represented her family name but, in a sense the people of her town. Because she was such a dominant figure the townspeople had put her on a pedestal and were very attentive to her actions. During the time in which her father was alive Emily was seen as a figure to be admired but never touched. Many wooers she had but according to her father’s standard, none were suitable enough.Miss Emily’s isolated and eccentric characterBesides, Miss Emily is isolated and eccentric. From the whole story, there is no doubt that she was an isolated one from the beginning of the story to the surprising end. All her life is the town people’s topic after meals. They regard her as a monster. And because of her family, in particular, her father, she nearly get separated from her neighbors, which adds more pressure to her personal affairs to fall in love with the Yankee, Homer Barron, which, at last, creates the tragedy. On the other hand, she is eccentric at the same time. When the men from the government want to taxher after her father’s death, but they are refused by Emily. The reason is quite simple, that is, when her father is alive, in Jefferson, they need not to pay taxes. She just tells the government that she has no taxes in Jefferson. What she said was the matter several years ago. And there was once a man called Colonel Sartoris explained it to her about her tax-free privilege. She does not respect the truth, that is, her so-called Colonel died ten years ago and new policy comes into practice. The narrator arranges the specific detail on her behavior of buying Arsenic. The druggist can not imagine her purpose in buying the poison and just thinks that she might use it for rat and such things. Miss Emily just stares at him, her head tilts back in order to look him eye for eye, until he looks away and goes and gets the arsenic and wraps it up for her. How strange and eccentric she is. She does not allow anyone to ask about her matter, even though it is a dangerous affair which is forbidden by law.Miss Emily’s necrophiliaMiss Emily is a necrophilia, too. Greatly surprised at the sight of the last paragraph of Faulkner’s short-story “A Rose for Emily”, the town people find that Miss Emily is not only a murderer, but also sleeps with Homer Barron after she kills him. Then it is noticed that in the second pillow is the indentation of a head. One of the townspeople lifts something from it, and leans forward, finding the faint and invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, and a long strand of iron-gray hair.Horribly, she kills her lover and sleeps next to him for a long time until being found out. As for the whole passage, the narrator refuses to dismiss Emily as simply mad or to treat her life as merely a grotesque, sensational horror story.Instead, his narrative method brought us into her life before wehastily rejected her, and doing so offered us a complex imaginativetreatment of fierce determination and strength coupled with illusionsand shockingMiss Emily’s braveness and toughnessShe is brave and tough as well. As a woman, Emily is normal. She just tries her best to pursue her happiness. In this story, the most attractive part for a great number of people is Emily’s brave pursuit of love. Only after her father’s death, she begins to have the right to love. “In the summer after her father’s death, she has her hair cut short and looks like a little girl. Soon she falls in love with Homer, who is a Yankee, a northerner and a day labor as well.” She holds her head high in her dignity as she is the last Grierson of her family though the townspeople think she has fallen because she is with a man who is different from her. However, Emily’s love affair is not affected by the townspeople and her two female cousins’ interference. What’s more,Ⅲ.Intrinsic and extrinsic ReasonsIntrinsic reasons3.1.1 FamilyIt is her family, especially her father that influences her so much. Emily, the heroine in the story, is a victim. Dominated by her father and his rigid ideas of socialstatus, she has been prevented from marrying during his life time and therefore after his death, she is left alone and penniless. Her dependence on her father continues even after he dies; she refuses to bury him and keep his portrait in a prominent place in her living room. Emily not only clings to her father’s memory, she also begins to assume his domineering traits. She does not accept the passage of time and changes or the inevitable loss that accompanies it. It is not just pathetic attempts to cling to the past, it develops into obsession and finally, homicidal mania. Rather than lose Homer as she lost her father, she kills him in order to keep him. She lives many years as a recluse. Abnormal characters are easy to form when under such strong pressure. It is Emily’s family that ruins her life and then Homer’s.3.1.2 PhysiologyEmily’s typical characters are cause by another important reason, namely, the physiological one. From Freud Sigmund’s narration, there are three conceptions which are connected to the analysis needed to understand, that is, Id, Ego, and Super-ego.T hey are the three parts of the fictive “psychic apparatus” defined in Freud’s so-called structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described. According to this model, the uncoordinated instinctual trends are the “id”; the organized realistic part of the psyche is the “ego”, and the critical and moralizing function the “super-ego”. The Id comprises the unorganized part of the personality structure that contains the basic drives. The Id is unconscious byId is human’s first reaction when human physiological needs happen, which is also an unorganized phenomenon. Miss Emily just tries her best to chase her happiness as other normal women do. From this angle, Miss Emily has the right to fall in love with Homer and to have their own family. What she has done is within the common practice. However, a lot of elements result in the tragic sequel. It is she that can not grasp the physiological element and causes her unhappy or even miserable destiny.3.1.3 Pathology and psychologyThere is another important intrinsic reason, that is pathological and psychological one. From her behavior to her father Mr. Drieson, she is complete Elctra Comlex(恋父情结). She lived with her father when Mr. Grieson was alive, without communicating with others. Mr. Grieson controlled her whole life completely, which is the root that causes Miss Emily’s tragedy and Homer’s. What is more, Emily’s father drove away all the young men who were going to chase his daughter for the reason that he just wanted to hold Emily for himself. In Emily’s sub-consciousness, her father is her lover. It is this kind of abnormal psychology that influences the formation of Emily’s abnormal characters. In Emily’s eyesight, losing her father amounts to losing her lover. And that means she will be alone from that time on. Therefore, she refuses to bury her father even though he has been dead for several days. And at last she kills her own lover just in order to keep him with her.Extrinsic reasonsWhen referred to intrinsic reasons, it is easy to think of extrinsic reasons causing Miss Emily’s characters and her destiny. What is more, the extrinsic reasons play a crucial role on her which worth of researching here.3.2.1 Cultural traditionCultural tradition makes great impact on Emily’s characters and the tragedy. Faulkner was aware of the Southerners’ association with the South tradition，not only physical，but spiritual as well; so he took pains to picture a group of Southerners who desperately submitted to the old way of life．But as an artist of the twentieth century, he observed the gradual changes of the South: the old veterans were dying of, and the old loyalties were adjusted to conform to new conditions．In “A Rose for Emily”,Faulkner described the conflicts between the old tradition and the new order, and the doomed defeat of the old tradition．Emilylived in her big and squarish frame house, which Grierson family thought the great choice. But her house was on its way t o “coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps. And the once most select street which was filled with houses decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavilyl ightsome style of the seveties” was then encroached and obliterated by garages and cotton gins. Faulkner admired somewhat the merits of the South tradition—the compassion and humanity men like Colonel Sartoris and his peers–inherited forced them to tell a kind lie to Emily so as to look after the single lady without insulting her dignity．But only a man of Colonel Sartoris’ generation and thought could have invented it. The moral values of the South tradition were lost．The new generation of public officials may be more efficient and businessman-like. They were more practical; the next generation，with its more modern ideas，produced some little dissatisfaction with the hereditary obligation upon the town. but the old generation like Judge Stevens totally objected to the idea for it was shameful to let others know that such noble lady had smell on her faces. The conflicts between the old generation and the new one indicated the decline of the Southern tradition．Faulkner believed that it was the moral values—courage，honor，pride，compassion，liberty and justice that produced the glorious Southern kingdom，but the new generation lost the virtues，thus losing its faith and force．The loss of the South tradition and the appearance of the North industrialization caused not only the devastation of the Southern plantation system, but also the macabre disillusionment to the Southern descendants. They were reared in the ways of the traditional South, vividly taught the beliefs and the loyalties of the tradition as the South knew them．Whereas，they saw that world changing into another kind and they were themselves of that new changed world，yet apart from it．Faulkner revealed with intensity the rootless of the Southern descendants．They witnessed that the Northern industrialization penetrated the South, but their inherited Southern aristocracy forbade their acceptance of the new order of life．They stubbornly objected to the invasion of the northern way of life, but in vain．So the Southern descendants had to suffer from the loneliness and bitterness of separating from the new world．The disillusionment of theSoutherners was wel1 revealed in the portrayal of Emily, which is a symbol that Emily’s characters form ed and caused her tragic end. For Miss Emily, she holds a firm conception that the Southern tradition or her family system is some sort of superiority. Therefore, when another new system－the Northern one comes into being, she just can not accept the truth and does some deeds to resist it and protect her “perfect one”. It is such behaviors and traditions that makes her abnormal characters.3.2.2 Social elementAnother extremely crucial factor for Emily’s characters to form is the social element. Here it mainly refers to the environment—the Jefferson community around her. For the townspeople, Grieson family never choose a northerner, a day labor. They think even though Emily is sad, she can not forget that she is a noble. They seem to be Emily’s new father after her father died. They try to control Emily on her love affair. When Emily and Homer appear together, they talk about them with scornful expression. However, the community’s opposition does not influence Emily’s persistent love with Homer. If the townspeople give up at this moment, the result of Emily may be much better. But, instead the opposition becomes further intensified. A priest gets in and fails. Then come Emily’s two far-distance cousins. From the writer’s viewpoint in the story, Miss Emily has been much better when she fall love in Homer. But the social environment pushes her to the edge of an abnormal woman again and again.Ⅳ.DestinyShe refused to release her father’s body for burial，and kept his portrait in a prominent place in her living room： She refused to cooperate with modernization in the tax-paying service, answering the tax notice “on paper of an archaic shap e, in a thin, flowing calligraphy in faded ink…”Her clinging to the past developed into such obsession and homicidal mania that she killed Homer Barron when she knew hewould not marry her. So she killed him and kept the body，From Emily’s tragic end and Faulkner’s other characters， we can see the portentous disillusionment of the Southern descendants in the transitional period．“They isolated themselves from the actual society, so what they could do was only to miss the past desperately until at last they died with deep agony.”9Consequently, Miss Emily suffered great pressure from the society, her family tradition, her relatives and community’s nonchalance etc. on her personal affair which finally caused her to die. Nonetheless, nobody paid much attention to whether she was alive or dead. Poor Emily is a character of misery. She is the sacrificial lamb of her time.Ⅴ.ConclusionEmily was respected as a monument by townspeople. Emily’s resistance is heroic. Her tragic flaw is the conventional pride: she undertook to regulate the natural time- universe. She acted as though death did not exist, as though she could retain her unfaithful love by poisoning her lover and holding his physical body in a world which had all of the appearances of reality except that most necessary of all things- life. Because Homer died, he couldn’t marry Miss Emily, then the monument continued to exist in the south people. In fact, the two generations ignored the real Emily, and create and maintain the myth of Emily as an example of southern womanhood from a last age. The writer uses the comic technique to disclose the conflict between south and north. This conflict cannot easily be solved at that time. Instead, it does great harm to Emily doomed destiny.In the above passage, Miss Emily’s characters are analyzed from different dimensions. At first, her behavior shows that she is a haughty, isolated and eccentric, necrophilia but brave and tough woman. Her characters are complex and to some extent ambivalent. From the intrinsic and extrinsic reasons above, it is known that Emily tragic destiny is doomed to happen at last.An analysis of "A Rose for Emily"William Faulkner regarded the past as a repository of great images of human effort and integrity, but also as the source of a dynamic evil. He was aware of the romantic pull of the past and realized that submission to this romance of the past was a form of death (Warren, 269). In "A Rose for Emily", Faulkner contrasted the past with the present era. The past was represented in Emily herself, in Colonel Sartoris, in the old Negro servant, and in the Board of Alderman who accepted the Colonel's attitude toward Emily and rescinded her taxes.The present was expressed chiefly through the words of the unnamed narrator. The new Board of Aldermen, Homer Barron (the representative of Yankee attitudes toward the Griersons and thus toward the entire South), and in what is called "the next generation with its more modern ideas" all represented the present time period. Miss Emily was referred to as a "fallen monument" in the story. She was a "monument" of Southern gentility, an ideal of past values but fallen because she had shown herself susceptible to death (and decay). The description of her house "lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps--an eyesore among eyesores" represented a juxtaposition of the past and present and was an emblematic presentation of Emily herself (Norton Anthology, 2044).The house smells of dust and disuse and has a closed, dank smell. A description of Emily in the following paragraph discloses her similarity to the house. "She looked bloated like a body long submerged in motionless water, and of that palled hue". But she had not always had that appearance. In the picture of a young Emily with her father, she was frail and apparently hungering to participate in the life of the era. After her father's death, she looked like a girl "with a vague resemblance to those angels in colored church windows--sort of tragic and serene". This suggests that she had already begun her entrance into the nether-world.By the time the representatives of the new, progressive Board of Aldermen waited on her concerning her delinquent taxes, she had already completely retreated to her world of the past. She declared that she had no taxes in Jefferson, basing her belief on a verbal agreement made with Colonel Sartoris, who had been dead for ten years. Just as Emily refused to acknowledge the death of her father, she now refused to recognize the death of Colonel Sartoris. He had given his word and according to the traditional view, his word knew no death. It is the past pitted against the present--the past with its social decorum, the present with everything set down in "the books."We can further see this distinction in the attitude of Judge Stevens, who was over eighty years old, and the young man (a member of the rising generation) whocame to the judge regarding the smell at Emily's house. For the young man, it was easy to point out the health regulations that were on the books. But for the judge dealing with the situation it was not so simple. "Dammit, sir...will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad" (Norton Anthology, 2045). If Homer had triumphed in seducing Emily and deserting her, Emily would have become susceptible to the town's pity, therefore becoming human.Emily's world, however, was already in the past. When she was threatened with desertion and disgrace, she not only took refuge in that world but also took Homer with her in the only manner possible--death. Miss Emily's position in regard to the specific problem of time was suggested in the scene where the old soldiers appear at her funeral. There are two perspectives of time held by the characters. The first perspective (the world of the present) views time as a "mechanical progression" in which the past is a "diminishing road" (Norton Anthology, 2049). The second perspective (the world of tradition and the past) views the past as "a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottleneck of the most recent decade of years" (Norton Anthology, 2049). The first perspective was that of Homer and the modern generation. The second was that of the older members of the Board of Aldermen and of the confederate soldiers. Emily held the second view as well, except that for her there was no bottleneck dividing her from the meadow of the past.Emily's room above the stairs was that timeless meadow. In it, the living Emily and the dead Homer remained together as though not even death could separate them. In the simplest sense, the story says that death conquers all. But what is death On one level, death is the past, tradition, whatever is opposite of the present (Hoffman, 265). In the setting of this story, it is the past of the South in which the retrospective survivors of the Civil War deny changing the customs and the passage of time.Homer Barron, the Yankee, lived in the present, ready to take his pleasure and depart, apparently unwilling to consider the possibility of defeat neither by tradition (the Griersons) nor by time itself (death). In a sense, Emily conquered time, but only briefly and by retreating into her "rose-tinted" world of the past. This was a world in which death was denied at the same time that it was shown to have existed. Such retreat, the story implies, is hopeless since everyone, even Emily, was finally subject to death and to the invasion of his or her world by the clamorous and curious inhabitants of the world of the present. "When Miss Emily died, [the] whole town went to her funeral...the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant...had seen in at least ten years" (Norton Anthology, 2044).艾米丽小姐大多数时候隐藏在情节里。

四、怪诞现象
“怪诞”恐怕是南方文学中最具传统特点的一种文化 现象。南方小说中的人物大都是一些精神变态者或是 一些宗教狂人和病态的暴徒。这样一群“怪人”组成 一个“怪异”的群体在南方社会中演绎出一幕又一幕 怪诞的悲剧, 正如莎士比亚所言“: 人生如痴人说梦, 充满着喧哗与骚动。”这就是《喧哗与骚动》的由来。

她是端庄的南方淑女，她要维护自己的淑 女形象和家族荣誉。面对爱情时， “艾米丽 又蔑视社会等级和道德观念，在恋爱和婚姻中 表 现出强烈的自我和自主意识。”她抛弃了 自己一直信奉的义务和责任甚至家族荣誉，不 顾一切地和 拿日工资的北方佬相爱了，精心 准备婚礼，成为恋爱中的小女人。

Ethnic conflict and class conflict
“我们已经放弃从他那里了解任何（有关艾米丽） 的消息很长时间了。他不跟任何人说话，甚至可能 不跟（艾米丽）说话，因为他的声音变得既刺耳又 仿佛生了锈，好像从来没用过一样。”
美国南北战争之后，当时的南方还一直 遵从着白人与庄园主至上的思想。阶级长期 的明显分化使得镇上的居民很大程度上忽略 了黑人与白人是平等的，黑人也是人；甚至 是黑人自己也潜意识里认为自己只是主人的 工具，自己不应该有任何关于自己的想法。 特别是在受到严厉旧时家教的艾米丽小姐家 中，这种思想更为深刻。
The conflict between old and new values

Homer Barron
Contradictions between nobility and labor class
新旧价值观的矛盾、贵族阶级与劳工阶级矛盾 “Homer himself had remarked--he liked men, and it was known that he drank with the younger men in the Elks‟ Club--that he was not a marrying man.”
A Rose for Emily represents Faulkner„s greatest achievements in the writing of short stories. Modernist writing techniques are skillfully used by Faulkner to tell the tragic life of Emily to show the incompatible inner spiritual world of American South in a specific period which is aimed at exploring the eternal theme of conflicts in human heart. Profoundly reflects southern aristocratic(贵 族的 [ə,rɪstə'krætɪk]) decline and decay, and the friction and conflict between the emerging capitalism（资本主义）and the old forces , and the contradiction between old and new values in the period of social change .
a rose for emily读后感英文
《a rose for emily》读后感英文《A Rose for Emily》是美国作家 William Faulkner 的一篇短篇小说，讲述了一个南方小镇上 Emily Grierson 家族的故事。
本文将从主题、情节、人物和语言等方面分析该小说，并分享读后感。
The theme of the story is the struggle between the past and the present, and the consequences of resisting change. Emily Grierson, the protagonist, refuses to let go of the past and clings to the old ways, even as the world around her is changing. This resistance leads to her isolation and eventual downfall. The theme is represented through the decaying house, the Confederate statue in the front yard, and the fact that Emily refuses to pay taxes, among other things.The plot of the story is complex and involves multiple flashbacks and foreshadowing. The story begins with the funeral of Emily"s father, and then jumps back in time to tell the story of her courtship with Homer Barron, a northerner who comes to town to build roads. The story then jumps forward in time to tell the story of Emily"s later life and the events leading up to her death. The plot is full of twists and turns, and the reader is left guessing until the end about the truth of what happened.The characters in the story are well-developed and complex. Emily is a mix of strength and vulnerability, and she is portrayed as both a hero and a villain. She is a strong, independent woman who refuses to be controlled by the townspeople, but 她也 is capable of great cruelty and manipulation. Homer Barron is portrayed as a northerner who is both progressive and naive, and he serves as a foil to Emily"s traditionalism. The townspeople are also well-drawn, and they are portrayed as both kind and cruel, with their actions driven by a mix of curiosity, fear, and respect for Emily.The language of the story is beautiful and evocative. Faulkner uses long, complex sentences and a lot of imagery to create a rich, atmospheric world. His language is rich in metaphor and symbolism, and he uses these devices to explore the themes of the story. For example, the decaying house and the Confederate statue represent the past and its hold on the town, while the smell of death and the flies represent the corruption and decay of the town.In conclusion, "A Rose for Emily" is a complex and haunting story that explores the themes of the past and the present, and the consequences of resisting change. The plot is complex and full of twists and turns, and the characters are well-developedand complex. The language of the story is beautiful and evocative, and it uses metaphor and symbolism to explore the themes of the story. This is a story that will stay with the reader long after they have finished reading it.。

A Rose for Emily is a first person narrative which is split into five different sections. The first section opens with a description of the Grierson house in Jefferson. The narrator mentions that over the years, Miss Emily Grierson's home has fallen into disrepair and become "an eyesore among eyesores." The first sentence of the story sets the tone of how the citizens of Jefferson felt about Emily: "When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to the funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant – a combined gardener and cook – had seen in at least ten years."
The narrator notes that on the date an engineer is seen in Jefferson with a crew of men to build sidewalks. After Emily and Homer are seen driving through town several times, Emily visits a druggist. There, she asks to purchase arsenic. The druggist asks what the arsenic is for since it was required of him to ask by law. Emily does not respond and coldly stares him down until he looks away and gives her the arsenic. When Emily opens the package, underneath the skull and bones sign is written, "For Rats." Citizens of Jefferson believe that Miss Emily is going to commit suicide since Homer has not yet proposed in the beginning of section four. The townspeople contact and invite Emily's two cousins to comfort her. Shortly after their arrival, Homer leaves and then returns after the cousins leave Jefferson. Upon his return, Homer is last seen entering Emily's home and then never seen again. After Homer’s disappearance, Emily begins to age, gain weight, and is rarely seen outside of her home. Eventually, Miss Emily passes away.
The fifth and final section begins with Jefferson women entering the Grierson home. After they arrive, Emily's black servant leaves through the back door without saying a word. After Emily's funeral, the townspeople immediately go through her house. They come across a room on the second floor which no one had seen in 40 years, and break the door down. They discover a dusty room strangely decorated as a bridal room. The room contains a man's tie, suit and shoes, and a silver toilet set which Miss Emily had purchased for Homer before his disappearance. Homer's remains lay on the bed, dressed in a nightshirt. Next to him is an impression of a head on a pillow where the townspeople find a single “long strand of iron-gray hair.” It is thus implied that Emily had killed Homer and had lain in the bed with his corpse up to her own death.。
