Wuthering Heights
Southern Gothic is a subgenre of the Gothic style, unique to Amecican literature. Like its parent genre, it relies on supernatural, ironic, or unusual events to guide the plot. Unlike its predecessor, it uses these tools not for the sake of suspense (悬 念）, but to explore social issues and reveal the cultural character of the American South.
In an extended sense, many novels that do not have a medievalized setting, but which share a comparably sinister (threatening), grotesque (strange), or mysterious atmosphere have been classed as Gothic.
However, Faulkner spent much of his time observing ordinary townspeople as well, and this is why he was able to capture the voice of the common people of Jefferson in the character of the narrator.

THE NORTH
Transportation:was easier in the North, which boasted more than two-thirds of the railroad tracks in the country and the economy was on an upswing.
Education:Northern children were slightly more prone to attend school than Southern children.
Between 1800 and 1860, the percentage of laborers working in agricultural pursuits dropped drastically from 70% to only 40%. Slavery had died out, replaced in the cities and factories by immigrant labor from Europe.

【精品】ARoseforEmily课件《为艾米莉献花》课件一、作者简介威廉•福克纳（William Faulkner，1897—1962）是美国南方文学的代表人物，被誉为“20世纪最重要的小说家之一”。
福克纳一生获得多个文学奖项，包括诺贝尔文学奖和普利策奖。
其作品向来以广阔的史诗气质和多层次的心理刻画而著称，在文学史上占有重要地位。
《为艾米莉献花》（A Rose for Emily）是福克纳于1930年创作的短篇小说，被誉为福克纳代表作之一。
作品描绘了一个小镇上的一位女性艾米莉和她的一生，以及她和她所处时代的种种矛盾和冲突。
作品中处理了爱情、家庭、社会等多个主题，同时对于人性、时间和传统文化等问题也给予了思考。
三、文本分析1.艾米莉的家族艾米莉所处的小镇在南方，具有浓郁的南方文化色彩。
她的家族也是当地有名的权贵家族，被誉为“貌似宾夕法尼亚州的最后一家双线氏族”。
然而，在故事中，这个家族的辉煌已经渐渐衰落。
故事一开始就描述了艾米莉的孤独。
她的父亲曾经把她看作全世界的一切，不让人接近她。
而到了父亲去世之后，她又显得更加孤独和脆弱，不再与外界交往，甚至连自由也失去了。
3.时间故事中用到的时间非常复杂，以至于读起来很容易让人混淆。
福克纳运用了许多手法，把过去、现在和未来穿插在一起。
这样的时间叙述方式不仅引发了读者对于人类命运的思考，更彰显了主人公生活中的不稳定和迷茫。
4.爱情作品中刻画的艾米莉和霍默的爱情是复杂而深刻的。
艾米莉曾经寄托在霍默的身上，但当她发现霍默要离开她的时候，她变得疯狂，甚至不惜那么多年来一直保持霍默的尸体在她的房间中，仿佛这就是她的精神寄托。
这笔爱情带给了艾米莉极大的痛苦与无奈。
四、主题思考1.时代变迁作品描写了一个小镇从荒野到繁华、再到没落的历史变迁。
小镇的繁华和没落是时代的变迁在地方上的具体表现。
同时故事中还展现了城市化、工业化和现代文明带来的巨大冲击，使得人们的生存状态和思维方式都发生了根本性变化。

A Rose For Emily
William Faulkner
William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25, 1897.
Faulkner belonged to a oncewealthy family of former plantation owners. Both parents came from wealthy families reduced to genteel (上 流社会的) poverty by the Civil War.
Why do we need to find the theme?
Trying to sum up the point of a story in our own words is merely one way to make ourselves better aware of whatever we may have understood vaguely and tentatively.
In an extended sense, many novels that do not have a medievalized setting, but which share a comparably sinister (threatening), grotesque (strange), or mysterious atmosphere have been classed as Gothic.
His invention of the mythical Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, gave him an almost endless source of colorful characters and stories. His greatest novels and short stories are set in Yoknapatawpha. A Rose for Emily happens in Jefferson, a town in this county.
【文学课件】A Rose for Emily
Detailed Study of the Text
Part I
1.
2.
The street used to house only the best families. Then great changes took place: garages and cotton gins were established on the street and their existence wiped out the aristocratic traces in that neighborhood. While the whole street was becoming modern and commercial, only Miss Emily’s house remained the same. Although her house was decaying, it still assumed an air of a stubborn and frivolous girl. The cotton wagons and gasoline pumps were ugly enough, but this house, which was old, in decay, pretentious, and completely out of place, was more unpleasant to look at. This detail shows that the house and its owner share the same character. Miss Emily had lived long and had become a tradition because she represented the aristocracy of the Old South that had lost out in the Civil War. She was a care because she was old, unmarried, and without family, and the people in the town felt they must take care of her. They felt that taking care of her was their duty and obligation. This obligation passed from generation to generation as long as she lived.
