| THE MEANING OF THE TITLE “A ROSE FOR EMILY” (written by Dang Xuan Thai Ngan DH02G-AV28) The victory of the American Civil War ends glory days of the South. Many southern people refused to accept the changed situation and had kept cherishing their precious memories. They showed a strong attachment to old values and traditions of the faded past. Miss Emily, who is the main character in the story “A Rose for Emily”, is typical of those Southerners. Throughout the story, the word “rose” rarely appears, but trying to interpret it helps readers have a deep understanding about the story. “A Rose for Emily” is Faulkner's white rose to Emily, his way of expressing condolences to Emily's death. He sympathizes with her loneliness and her imagination about her status. People in the town respect her but they are one of the main reasons that make her have too good opinion of herself. They do not dare to force her to pay taxes, they do not dare to question her when she buys poison, they are more embarrassed of making remarks about the smell and do not dare to find out the truth about this terrible smell. I have the feeling that they consider her as “holy” idol. They treat her as if she was beyond the law.. If only they forced her to obey the law, she would be more conscious about her real status and integrated into a new era... More |
