A Rose for Emily-An Interpretation of the Symbolism in William Faulkner's

An Interpretation of the Symbolism in William Faulkner's

Symbols convey special meanings to the reader throughout literary genres. William Faulkner, a regional writer, employs symbolism in a good amount of his works. Faulkner utilizes conventional symbols, allegories, and unconventional symbols. In his short story, " A Rose for Emily," Faulkner uses unconventional symbols. Symbols provide greater understanding of the setting, help define the aura of Miss Emily's character, and play a crucial role in revealing the story's theme.

Symbols equip the reader with ample understanding of the setting. Endearing characters unveil the true thought behind Faulkner's choice of setting. The central character Miss Emily Grierson, a true Southern Belle, brings the Old South back to life. Miss Emily, like the fallen South turns into, "a monument", " a tradition, a duty, and a care," upon the town. Once Miss Emily's father passes on and leaves her the last Grierson she wants more recognition, respect, and the legacy of a grand monument, " It was as if she [Emily] demanded more than ever the recognition of her dignity as the last Grierson; as if it had wanted that touch of earthiness to reaffirm her imperviousness"
