    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
