Week 4 Training: Article: A Rose for Emily I think I would like to Contribute to the article by putting more information related to symbolism throughout the story. There was a lot of Information about the characters, plots,themes, but no symbolism. I believe that symbolism is one of the most important things in writing because it makes the reader think harder about the story. By looking at different symbols the whole story can mean something different.

A Rose for Emily Article summary:One of the key points I have been focusing on in A Rose For Emily is symbolism. I think this story has many great examples of how symbolism can give deeper meaning to a piece of Literature. First, I would like to Start off with the most obvious one, The rose. Reading over many sites and other articles, I believe that the Rose is a representation of Homer who is Emily’s love. When ever we think of a rose it beautiful, red and often is associated with Valentine’s Day or anything that has to do with love. I think that is why Faulkner uses this specific flower, because it is widely known for what it stands for worldwide. Another symbol that stuck out to me was Death. Not only is this an important symbolic quality in this story, but I think it’s also a theme. With Homer’s Death and the necrophilia, we are seeing a pattern. I would Also like to point out that the story takes place in the South during the Civil War era. We are also seeing death in that sense. We are seeing the “death” of the south as it slowly fades. During this era, both the Union and the Confederates faced many hardships but in the end, the south is who lost the war resulting in a terrible aftermath. Another important symbol in this story would be the house. It symbolizes Emily's inability to move on. This is why her house seems to be frozen in time. The house may also be a representation of Emily's isolation from the outside world of course, because of her dark secret. Once a extravagant, beautiful home filled with happy memories has turned in to a dark and cold place stuck in the mists of time. It is even referred to as an "eyesore" in the story.
