When people love one another it is hard to let that special someone go. Love is indefinite a powerful work or art and could control someone mind, body and soul. In the story A rose for Emily love controls her whole aspect of life. However the author William Faulkner portrays Ms. Emily Grierson to be a loveable person not only to her family but to the town. Everyone in the town looks up at her and respect her tradition of the past, but also pitied her even though she held herself too high, but who would thought that love will be the fault of her murdering her long time friend Homer Barron. Homer Barron is a Yankee and a construction worker he is the only love Ms. Emily has ever encountered. Emily Grierson is guilty of murder of Homer Barron for a numerous of reasons she went to the local store and bought rat poisons, the people in the town have not seen Homer in months, and she went to the jeweler to order a toilet set in silver. Emily Grierson was raised by her father whom never let her leave the home. As years went on she grew closer to her father to a point where when he died she left his body in the home. When her father died the town has not seen her in months, until she meet this Yankee name Homer Barron. She loved Homer Barron but he was not the marrying type because Homer himself had remarked he liked men. Emily went to the local druggist to buy arsenic and refused to disclose the purpose of her purchase to the druggist. This shows the reader that Ms. Emily plans on using the poison for a special purpose and that is killing Homer Barron.
When Ms.Emily leaves the home and goes into town Homer Barron is usually with her with his hat cocked to the side and a cigar in his teeth. However after she purchased the arsenic from the druggist the town never saw Homer Barron again. Emily loved Homer so much she did not care about him being there for her emotionally, physically, or sexually, but loved the fact that his body was with her at all
