User:UndercoverWinger/A Rose for Emily/Kiannajade Peer Review

(Adding more to the plot, few missing details)

They believed Tobe was unable to maintain the house and something was rotting, ignoring the possibility that a murder occurred.

The house is an indicator revealing how Emily struggled to keep everything the same, in a frozen time period, to avoiding change.

Emily presumably poisons and kills Homer, as she sees murder as the only way to keep Homer with her permanently. She treats him as her living husband even after his death, which is shown by her keeping his clothes in the room, keeping his engraved wedding items on the dresser, and the the strand of her hair found beside his corpse at the end of the story that indicated she even slept beside him. Emily's murderous act also displays her obstinate nature. This is evident in Emily's refusal to pay her taxes, her denial of her father's death, and the fact that she kills Homer to ensure that he will never leave her.

 The Narrator  - An unnamed member(s) of the town who watches the events of Emily's life unfold in its entirety. The story is presented to the reader in a non-chronological order; this suggests that the story may have been patched together by multiple tellers.

.

 Tobe ' - Emily's cook/gardener, who is also acts as her secret keeper. During the years of Emily's isolation, he provides no details of her life to the townspeople and promptly disappears directly following her death. He became old and stooped from all of his work while Emily grew large and immobile.
