Emily Grierson

Emily Grierson, generally referred to as Miss Emily, is the main character of the short story "A Rose for Emily", written by William Faulkner. Miss Emily is “a small, fat woman” who, before dying, lived within a modernizing town full of people who saw her as a very cold, very distant woman that lived in her past.〔(), Faulkner, William, section I.〕 The entire short story, this protagonist is referred to by her fellow townspeople only as “a tradition, a duty, and a care,” and is portrayed as a very mean, stubborn old woman; however, as her story unfolds, she is portrayed more as a sympathetic character whose whole story could never be fully understood.〔
==Character==

Miss Emily was a “hereditary obligation upon the town” in which she lived.〔 She was a woman living in her past in a perpetually developing town. When this “next generation, with its more modern ideas” began to infest the town, they began to notice Miss Emily’s sense of tradition, which was almost a sense of pride and stubbornness.〔 One instance of Miss Emily’s stubbornness is when she refuses to pay taxes to the new, modern government. “I have no taxes in Jefferson.” This thought of Miss Emily exemplifies this idea that she had in her mind that she was somehow still living in her past. Throughout Faulkner’s short story, Miss Emily is misunderstood by her fellow townspeople, and even by the reader. Speaking about her past and present, the reader finds that what they really thought about Miss Emily was very wrong.〔 Miss Emily's physical appearance also displays Miss Emily's deeper character. One individual, Xie Qun, who studied how Faulkner painted Miss Emily's character in this short story found that Faulkner wanted to reveal Miss Emily's internal change using her external characteristics. Qun explains that Faulkner "enables the readers to watch how Emily transforms from a slender lady to an old gloomy "bloated" one, and from an obedient, genteel young girl to a murderer and corpse keeper".〔 This change in Miss Emily that Faulkner displays is an important aspect of revealing her true character throughout the short story.
