![]() ![]() She couldn't do things as she likes because of her family background and also her father. To me,I think that Emily's life was such a tragedy. The songs is telling that nobody really cares about Emily,and there's no love for her,either. But I like this song,and I think the music fits the lyrics well.I do think that it conveys the simlilar feelings that I have towards Emily. Personally,I think it's a little bit ironic in a way. I think the lyrics of this song is pretty sorrowful,but the music,however,is kind of cheerful. Nobody will remember why she become so odd but they will discuss her story from generation to generation. She just likes a fading rose in the world and goes away. My feeling about this story is that Emily is a pitiful woman in that world and she is the prey of that era. This story reflects many things in that era, such as the patriarchy of Emily’s father and the fading of noble in southern America. She uses the worst trick to make this man leave by her side forever. Emily can not accept the man who she falls in love with does not love her but love the man guys. In the end of this story, we see the tragic of this indulged deed of her father. She also can not control her feeling about love. In my opinion, Emily is an indulged girl and her father’s love makes her become poor of socialization. Emily is a symbol of the noble man which located in southern American. Yes, it conveys the same feeling when I read this story. I think this music conveys some emotional feeling from the rose for Emily. Just like the lyrics say she can see those roses in the garden but she can’t do anything until those roses fade away. She can’t get the thing which she desire. She wanted her husband to accompany with her until she died so she killed him and slept with the dead body for many years.Įmily’s whole life is pitiful. She couldn’t bear this big shock, and killed him. However, she finally married a person named Homer Barron but she found that he was a homosexual. It seemed like she has been haunted by her father’s soul forever. Nevertheless the situation didn’t change after her father’s death. ![]() Her father made restriction on many suitors of Emily and drove them out of her sight. After hearing this song, I full of sigh for Emily’s miserable experience.Įmily who born in a noble family didn’t have much chooses to pursue the life which she wanted. Yes, I think that the lyric successfully translate Emily’s emotions. In the end of the story, Emily’s life simply fades away just as the roses in her garden do when they’re old. Until Emily dies, she couldn’t get anything, especially love, from Barron except his dead body by poisoning him. She hangs out with Homer Barron for sometime however, their relationship is in vain since Barron appears to be homosexual. While people out there enjoying their love matter with their boy or girlfriends and even having sexual relationship, all Emily can do is just sitting at home without being loved by someone. In the story, there really isn’t much that Emily can do except just staying at home, going shopping sometimes, and setting up a painting course which doesn’t last long. In brief, my feeling towards the song doesn’t match another one I have while reading the story.Ībout the lyrics, I would give them enough credits for they describe the story perfectly. Yet the rhythm of the song is quite active and relaxed, and I just can feel “sunshine” by listening to it. Do you think the music (and its lyrics) convey the similar feelings you have when you read the story itself? Desribe your feelings.Īs for the rhythm, a definite No is served.įirst, the story with tragic ending is already getting miserable in the middle, so the rhythm is supposed to be, from my point of view, a bit creeping, gothic, depressing, or even horrified. That's all she has protecting her from pain Her status as a "lady" brings about the tragic ending of the story.įaulkner's story is so famous as to become an inspiration for a British music band "The Zombies." They adapted the story for their song, in which Miss Emily's fate is being lamented: The title "A Rose for Emily" indicates a chilvaric gesture toward a "lady," who is given a rose as a homage to her "ladyship." However, making her a "lady" (by her authoritative father and the traditional antebellum southern society) also cripples her for life. In Today's class, we talked about Faulkner's famous short story "A Rose for Emily" (1931), his presentation of the conflict between the North and the South, Miss Emily as a symbol of a bygone era, and the tragic decline of southern sensibility. ![]()
