A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner

In a Rose for Emily, William Faulkner uses a variety of mental imagery and flashbacks to show the kind of woman Miss Emily is. The towns people all know of her based off their accounts and what they provoke heard of her home. Miss Emily was created to be an exceptional female figure. Feminists have fought for the right of women to be free from the former(a) social restraints which have been in place for so long. A feminist entrusts a woman should be strong and independent. In some ways the main character, Emily, is this kind of woman, but for the most part she is depicted as weak and fragile, though she is not.Miss Emily was pretty much a rebel. Miss Emily had written letters from the mayor and other officials astir(predicate) taxes, which she ignored because she had no taxes in Jefferson. Miss Emily had a Negro house maid, which the mayor Colonel Satoris sought to be wrong. Colonel Satoris definitely proved to be sexist in many ways. Satoris believed only women could believe it, speaking about lies that only the men in the town could know the truth too about Emilys dad. Emily was the ruler of the house, which was beyond social norms in that time. Being the one who ran the house, the woman banished the Mayor, townspeople, and sheriffs from her house. Faulkner proves Miss Emilys power in many ways throughout the text.
