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.

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
