Poor Emily

William Folkners' A Rose for Emily.

Was Emily really poor? Could she have helped herself? Did the people of the town really care about her and want her to be happy or did they secretly want her to be miserable?

Emily was a sad women that was crazy, no one said it or avoided that subject, but after her father died, she was crazy. She never left the house and never spoke to hardly anyone. She had one love and when he died she never spoke about it to anyone she left him in the room so she could continue to be with him. The town people were more noisy than anything. They were curious of her house and money that is why many of them went to the funeral. Yes, I believe she was poor because she had no friends, but I also believe that was her own doing. She could have had many friends if she tried.
