The Death of Emily Grierson in A Rose for EmilyA Rose for Emily The Death of Miss Emily Grierson, was "a mystery", this woman was so mysterious that everyone in the community should come to visit her after her death. The men out of a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women above all out of curiosity to see the inside of his house, which no one, except an old servant - both gardener and cook - had seen for at least ten years (Faulkner 55 ). The house was described as a large square house that was slowly decaying. It was reminiscent of the city of the 1970s and was said to be "an eyesore among eyesores" (55). The Voice of the City identifies Emily as a “tradition, a duty, and a care.” The men and women of the town behave differently towards Miss Emily. A sort of hereditary obligation that triggers a memory. In 1894, when Colonel Sartoris forgave her taxes, but generations change within the story and their values ​​differ. So the next generation, feeling no hereditary obligation, attempts to collect these reportedly remitted taxes. The meeting between the next generation with its more modern ideas and the elderly Miss Emily provides the first visual details of the interior of the house and of her. Inside was a dusty, damp, desolate kingdom, dominated by the presence of his father's pencil portrait. Miss Emily was described as a short, fat woman dressed in black, with a thin gold chain running down to her waist and disappearing into her belt, leaning on an ebony staff with a tarnished gold head. Her skeleton was small and gaunt: perhaps that was why what in another would have been simply plump was obesity in her. It seemed swollen, like a body immersed in still water for a long time, and of that pale color. His eyes lost in the fat ridges of his face, looked like two small pieces of coal pressed into a piece of pasta (55). In the confrontation between generations, when she speaks defiantly to community representatives, her taxes are not collected and she triumphs. This achievement of the modern generation reminds the narrator of a previous battle when he defeated their fathers thirty years earlier because of the smell. You are directed towards the language of battle - "conquered, on horseback and on foot" and in remembering the first images of Miss Emily in her thirties.
