A Rose for Emily entry #1

A Rose for Emily

 

Before reading this poem my expectations were completely different from what it was after reading it. I thought that the poem will be about a fiancé that he had and he brought her a rose.  I think that A rose for Emily is a really good story that makes us to think what really was going on in her mind after her father died and why she want to keep the dead body.  one of the main themes in the story is death or the main theme. Everybody in the small town  felt sorry for Emily when her father died. He left her with the house with no money. When he died, Emily didn't want  to admit that he die for three  days. The town didn't think she was crazy, they just assumed that she just didn't want to let go of her dad, even though that he had stolen her youth from her by over controlling her. another theme in the story is the fact that Emily struggling to maintain tradition because she want to make her father proud of herself and also to please herself  and society. I really recommend this poem to other people who want to read it because is very interesting poem.
