Never ending love
In the short story “A Rose for Emily” William Faulkner writes and creates a form of symbolism of the main character and the way her life was lived to that of what could have been a rose that withered away.   Throughout the short story there are other forms of symbolism which are easy identifiable such as the fact that she was once very attractive and grew to be old and unattractive such as the house she lived in which was said to be “an eye sore of eye sores”(668).     Emily’s story if very descriptive and a very telling tale of a woman who never withered until her death such as a rose would live its life.   good intro
