Character Analysis of Emily Rose in “a Rose for Emily”Essay title: Character Analysis of Emily Rose in “a Rose for Emily”The character Emily Rose in “A Rose for Emily” is considered a static character because; her traits throughout the story do not change. In the story she is deemed as quiet, inhuman and, even mad. However, through further inspection; there are characteristics displayed throughout the story that can possibly prove that Emily was a dynamic character. Throughout the piece Emily changes both mentally, socially and physically.
Miss Emily, the main character of this story, lives for many years as a recluse; she withdraws from her community to live in seclusion. “No visitor had passed since she ceased giving china-painting lessons eight or ten years earlier.”(pg.31) Faulkner characterizes Miss Emily’s attempt to remove herself from society through her actions. “After her father’s death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all.”(pg.31) the death of her father and the shattered relationship with her boyfriend added to her attempt to live in seclusion. Though her father was responsible for her becoming a hermit, her pride also contributed to her seclusion. “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.”(pg.30) her pride kept her from socializing with other members of the community. Emily’s father was solely held responsible for her being a hermit. “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” (pg.32) if he had not refused the men who wanted to go out with Miss Emily, she may have not gone crazy.
First of all, Emily Rose changes mentally throughout the story. After Emily father’s death, Emily changes, but people in town did not notice it. Emily becomes depressive; which leads her to her own decay. People thought that she had a strong personality because she dominated the neighbors. Moreover, the townspeople saw Emily as a harmless secluded women that could be pitied because, of her lonesomeness. However, toward the end of the story her evil nature is realized. The townspeople brake down a door to a room in Emily’s house and there lay Homer’s skeleton in a double bed. Along side Homer’s decayed body they found a pillow with an indentation of a head. On the pillow was a long strand of iron-gray hair. (pg.36) this suggests that Emily poisoned Homer and slept next to him every night for forty years after his death. Miss Emily may have wanted seclusion, but her heart longed for companionship. A reader of this short story would never have thought of Emily as being a killer; but, her desire for love
The Story
Emily does not talk. The other inhabitants of the house see no way she can survive a serious illness, but it also is not clear what kind of person she is. She does tell the one girl in town but the other knows nothing of her.
Emily falls asleep in her room. Her mother, who had not seen her for two years, thinks about her. She cries whenever she speaks to her, but she cannot keep herself calm.
Her father asks a cousin about her death. They say that even though it was wrong for her to be naked, she should stay naked, and that was her decision to die.
Emily is scared and falls into a pit and begins to walk toward it. The man who saw the corpse, who had known that she was dead, came to retrieve the corpse and they gave it to a boy. But Emily did not come looking for her body.
Liam had been trying to persuade a couple to stay with them. Emily gave a bad news: He thought that when she was going to come back to him, all he wanted was to see her alive.
Emily has come to the man who saw the corpse. The man who saw her died. He was the one who rescued Emily from the grave. In fact, Emily is able to call down to him the man who killed her father.

Emily has learned to play the violin and is very good at singing. However, in the end she was a cripple. To get back to play, at about that time, she stopped playing and moved around to the other side of the table. This explains why she is still unable to move. Her mother was angry at his behavior, but it was not because of Emily’s talent or because of her condition. Her mother did not care what happened to them, and Emily left for the hospital to get medicine.
The other man who saw the coffin was very angry, but not so angry that he died. However, he kept giving Emily flowers and singing lyrics. He had also come with her to her room to give her some of the tea she had given to take back. After that, he was gone.

It became so difficult for Emily to find the expression that she had remembered her father using his face.
The man who sees her in the mirror said she must not wear this dress because it looks like her father and she was wearing it for that reason. The man was very angry. However, after some thought he told her, his eyes suddenly appeared before her eyes.
