Answer:
In A Rose for Emily, William Faulkner presents the Old South American Society traditions contrasting with the new generational traditions of our modern society.
Explanation:
In<em> A Rose for Emily, William Faulkner</em> tells the story of Miss Emily who through the orders of Colonel Sartoris in exempted from paying any taxes. But that was in the past, with Miss Emily representing the southern tradition. Her father and then the colonel taking care of her shows the tradition of men taking care of the women. As the author puts it, <em>"Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town, dating from that day in 1894 "</em>.
But later on, when the <em>"older"</em> people had died and the <em>"next generation, with its more modern ideas, became mayors and aldermen, this arrangement created some little dissatisfaction"</em>. This new generational growth is the <em>"modern era"</em>, a different sort opposed to how the traditional Old South ways are no longer observed. Men and women alike are capable of taking care of themselves.
Thus, through the character of Miss Emily Grierson, Faulkner presents the <em>"old" </em>American society while contrasting it with the new generation that represent our own modern society.
Answer:
Emily is clearly linked to a monument--a symbol of death--in this passage. Many people think of tributes to the dead or to fallen heroes when they think of monuments. Monuments are found in many cemeteries, often to remember the famous or dead who are buried there. Faulkner connects Emily to a '' fallen monument'', to reinforce the theme of decay, a reminder that all things will fall to ruin. Monuments will crumble, societies will falter, and Emily and the other townspeople will die.
Explanation:
Symbols of death are as pervasive as the fine dust that coats Miss Emily's house in this short story. The dust covers everything in Emily's house, and the men who go there to attempt to collect Emily's taxes notice that the hallway ''smelled of dust and disuse.'' When they are seated in the parlor, ''a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray.''
Dust coats everything in the secret room where Emily's horrifying secret is revealed and the townspeople learn that she has killed Homer Barron, her boyfriend, and kept his body. After Emily's neighbors break down the door of the secret room, they are shocked to see that ''What was left of him, rotted beneath what was left of the nightshirt, had become inextricable from the bed in which he lay; and upon him and upon the pillow beside him lay that even coating of the patient and biding dust.''
