    The characters in “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner can relate to the characters in Plato’s “Myth of the Cave”. Both stories seem to not share any similarities at first glance‚ especially in regards to their settings and plots. However‚ the similarity of both stories lies within the characters. In both stories‚ the characters experience a sort of self-inflicted isolation. The state of unknowingly separating themselves from the outside world is a common trait shared between the prisoners and

The sections are structured to go from present to past‚ instead of the more common chronological order. It is this manipulation of time that builds the suspense of the surprise ending. Part one takes place in what I understand to be present time. The narrator describes that the town’s people attended Emily’s funeral because

    Briar Rose

    • 592 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Briar Rose is centered around one woman’s Holocaust experience and intermixed with the classic fairy-tale‚ Sleeping Beauty. Yolen’s uses of classic fairy-tale elements such as a prince and the curse of a long sleep are used to connect us to the horrors of the death camp Chelmno. The result is a story that is fresh and shocking as it tears away any of the numbness one may feel for another account of a Holocaust survivor. Suddenly the fairy-tale ideas of rescue and evil are invested with modern connotations
