What is William Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily' about?

Answer A Rose for Emily is about a woman who was going to be jilted by a suitor (who was a carpetbagger) and she kills him. She keeps the corpse in her bed and the secret is kept by her house servant until she dies. Somebody discovers her secret, and discovers what she has done.

Critics of the literature and I assume that is that she is insane or mentally deranged (i.e. Norman Bates) for keeping a dead body in her bed all of these years (she sleeps with the body every night). It is not until the very end of the story until the reader actually understand what she has done.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
