The Plot’s Surprise in A Rose for Emily William Faulkner strategically uses plot to manipulate time in A Rose for Emily (Faulkner 566-74). The plot is sectioned into five parts.

A Rose for Emily Both a Static and Dynamic Character Emily Rose in “A Rose for Emily” in my opinion is both a static character and a dynamic character in this particular story.

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
