In William Faulkner’s well-known story “A Rose for Emily”, the personality of Ms. Emily Grierson frequently leaves the bibliophile questioning her psychological condition. As the story undoes the anonymity of Ms. Grierson’s secretive life, we also learn about the important basics such as the tradition, customs, and standards that were gorgeously constructed in this stimulating piece of literature. The story is set in a time where the culture is going through a transition, and while the whole town is accepting the contemporary, the high-born girl Emily appears to hold on to the custom.
