In William Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily” it seems that Emily was plagued with loneliness most of her life. While she was happy as a child‚ she became lonely when her father passed. She began to isolate herself from everyone and her reclusiveness became worse when Homer Barron‚ her beau‚ left her. She did not go to the market but would instead send Tobe‚ her manservant to do the shopping. When people would come to visit‚ she would have Tobe turn them away. It seems sad and pitiful that

In my opinion‚ William Faulkner displays a perfect example of the old saying‚ "what goes around comes around" in the short story A Rose For Emily. The main character‚ Miss Emily Grierson‚ doesn’t know why the public eye looks at her the way it does‚ she also doesn’t know why people act so differently around her.
