【正文】 and were very attentive to her actions. During the time in which her father was alive, Emily was seen as a figure to be admired but never touched. Besides, Miss Emily is isolated and eccentric. From the whole story, there is no doubt that she was an isolated one from the beginning of the story to the surprising end. All her life is the town people’s topic after meals. They regard her as a monster. And because of her family, in particular, her father, she nearly get separated from her neighbors, which adds more pressure to her personal affairs to fall in love with the Yankee, Homer Barron, which, at last, creates the tragedy. On the other hand, she is eccentric at the same time. When the men from the government want to tax her after her father’s death, but they are refused by Emily. The reason is quite simple, that is, when her father is alive, in Jefferson, they need not to pay taxes. What she said was the matter several years ago. 14. Why does Emily choose to kill Homer, the only one she loves in this world? And what kind of sentiment and motivation is reflected from her abnormal behavior?Why Emily killed Homer Barron but sleep with his corpse? It’s one of the plex contradictions in this article. At that time, father was the ruler of a family. Emily’s father drove away all the young man who wanted to marry Emily. He wanted Emily to be a perfect woman who has no emotion and should always be submissive(obedient服從). Under her father’s depressing “protection”, Emily became unsociable（孤僻） and indifferent. Thus she dares to kill Homer Barron.After her father’s death, she cut her hair short and wanted to have a new life just as a new generation. Then she met Homer Barron who is an negro（黑人） but handsome and humorous. She fall in love with him while no one in the town supports her. They saw her as “a tradition, a duty, and a care”. They can’t help gossiping about her and asking her kinsfolk（relatives親屬） to stop her crazy behavior. At last Emily could not bear these scandals（丑聞）, so she killed Homer Barron.Actually the venturous Emily has the same character with her father. She wanted to retain all things she had had by all means. When Homer Barron deserted（拋棄） her, she made an extreme way to keep him. In order to fulfill her love, she slept with Homer Barron’s corpse for several years.15. What is your interpretation to A Rose for Emily？What are the themes we can reasonably read out of the story? The meaning of the title is ambiguous, capable of various interpretations. First, a rose symbolizes love and a pledge of faithfulness. From the story we can see Miss Emily was denied love. So, in this sense, the title has an ironic meaning. Second, a rose for Emily means the sympathy that the author shows for Emily’s whole tragic life.At last, a rose for somebody can also mean a kind of memorial, an offering, in memory of somebody. The story explores many themes, including the society of the South at that time, the role of women in the South, and extreme psychosis.In the story, the townspeople39。s points of views on Emily actually reflect the society39。s value at that moment to some extent. Although the townspeople don39。t have direct contact with Emily, their views on her and her family greatly affect her life. Their praises and admiration influence her father to keep her sheltered longer than she actually needs to be. Her father controls her thoughts and lifestyle. Emily feels that she is released when her father is dead. She dives into love with Homer and neglects people39。s judgments on her. When she realizes that Homer intends to leave her again, she makes sure that he would always be with her, whether he is alive or not. In his death Emily finds eternal love which is something no one could ever take away from her. 寧可累死在路上，也不能閑死在家里！寧可去碰壁，也不能面壁。是狼就要練好牙，是羊就要練好腿。什么是奮斗？奮斗就是每天很難，可一年一年卻越來越容易。不奮斗就是每天都很容易，可一年一年越來越難。能干的人，不在情緒上計較，只在做事上認真；無能的人！不在做事上認真，只在情緒上計較。拼一個春夏秋冬！贏一個無悔人生！早安！—————獻給所有努力的人.學習
