They state in the story he was known to like men, and that he would often be found in the company of other men. It is evident she was in live with him, and actually it appears that he loved her in a way too, but since she could not have him completely then he would have to die.
Explain the conflict in Emily's life? There was a conflict of love and acceptance. She appears to want the love that was denied her when her father was alive. Her father would alienate her, and she did not really have any opportunities to develop a loving healthy relationship. Emily also has conflicts over the way she believes her life should be lived and they way that society believes that she should live her life. Emily refused to conform and follow the rules i.e. she did not want the number put on her door and the mailbox installed for the mail system, when she would receive her taxes they would always be returned unpaid. In addition, you can think that someone has it all, and they really do not they have internal turmoil's that may not be easily seen. Emily wanted love that she never received until the end, but that love too came with restrictions and limitations. Akin to most people, it can be difficult to deal when you cannot have what you want. I believe Faulkner took a fresh approach to the old adage of "never judge a book by its cover." In every experience there is a lesson to learn, no one's life is perfect, and we all experience love and lose in different ways, so who are we to judge?

Point-of-view is extremely important in any story, as who is telling the story can greatly affect what gets told. If Faulkner had chosen Emily or her servant as the narrator, the story would have been very different, and readers would have known what was going on in Emily's house much sooner, but since Faulkner chose a townsperson, the secrets of Emily's disturbed mind remained hidden until the final scene
Emily Dickinson and Ezra Pound Ezra Pound's poem "The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter" is inspired by Chinese poetry, and dramatizes the situation of the Chinese wife of a traveling salesman. In its empathetic portrayal of the life of a woman, it resembles poems by Emily Dickinson -- but the difference is, of course, that Pound's form is fundamentally dramatic. Pound announces, in his title, the speaker of the poem. Dickinson's lyric
This is why Homer is killed: he has lied to Emily and to the townspeople, and his deceit is punishable by death (at least, so it seems to Emily -- if Blythe is correct in his analysis). This is why the tension that exists between Emily and the community comes to the forefront in the first place: "Every human lives in a social environment and is influenced by surrounding
Though my loneliness certainly isn't as extreme as Emily's, and I do not think I would want to sleep next to a corpse for years instead of finding people to interact with in the outside world, the sense of being cut off from those around you and kept in a separate bubble is something I can relate to. There are times when I have exactly this feeling as a
