1、 This passage attempts to, from a delicate way to analyze the conflicts about the life of Miss Emily in the world-famous short story A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, an American writer. The author first starts from the conflicts in Miss Emilys life, analyzing the reasons of the conflicts. Furth

2、ermore, from literal devices in this passage, William Faulkner explains to the readers how the conflicts are displayed. Based on the above, the author points out that Miss Emilys character tragedy lies in the obstinate traditional sense of hierarchy in the Old South of America. The conflicts, betwee

3、n the new system in the New South during its foundation and the old system in the Old South, as well as her greatly twisted character, lead to her tragic fate. Through the series of the specific analysis, the readers are able to make full comprehension of the article.Key words: Conflict Refuse Old S

4、outh New South North摘要本篇文章力图用一种很细致的方法来透析威廉.佛克纳的著名短篇小说献给艾米丽的玫瑰中所出现的种种冲突。作者首先从艾米丽生活中所出现的冲突切入,进而分析存在这些冲突的原因,然后本篇文章又从威廉. 佛克纳所使用的多种文学手段来进一步说明他是如何把这些冲突展现给读者的,由此读者不难发现艾米丽的悲剧植根于美国南方特权阶级顽固的传统观念,这些冲突的发生实质上是南方旧体制,旧观念和北方新体制,新观念的冲突。通过一系列紧密的分析读者可以更透彻的理解这篇文章。关键词:冲突 拒绝 旧南方 新南方 北方IntroductionWilliam Faulkner, an out

5、standing southern writer of the U.S.A., was a regionalist, spending most of his time in a small regionDeep South. He invented a county Yoknapatawpha , the capital is Jefferson ,in his imagination . Most of his stories took place in this imaginary place. “A Rose for Emily” is one of them. Faulkner su

6、ccessfully advanced two modern literary techniques: stream of consciousness and multiple point of view. His frequent themes were history and race-family epic, melon-drama (with exaggerated conflicts and emotion), tragedy and comedy. All of these involve war, race, class, soil, and family violence. H

7、e defines his ideals in terms of their opposites. He has few characters that have normal sense, and Miss Emily, the main character of the short story, is a typical one who resembles almost all the aspects of William Faulkners writing style mentioned above.Miss Emily Grierson, a typical character des

8、cribed in his world-famous short story “A Rose for Emily”, is the emblem of the Old South and the victim of the Old Souths traditional ideas. Her unusual behavior, proud and aloof character and nearly seclusive lives are always the targets criticized by traditional critics. Miss Emily refused to acc

9、ept the postbox, the symbol of modernization; and refused to pay taxes, which means that she refused to accept the progress of the society; and refused to accept the passage of timeSo Miss Emilys life are filled with conflicts. And the conflicts lied in the new ideas in the New South and the old ide

10、as in the Old South.Chapter IThere are several conflicts in the story including paying taxes, the smell, the disposal of the dead body of her father, the purchase of poison, her marriage, and the mailbox.On paying taxes, the townspeople want Emily to conform to their standards of living. Emily refus

11、es to succumb to their pressure because of a so-called arrangement made between Colonel Sartoris, who was the mayor at that time, and Emily exempts herself from ever paying taxes. In reality, the arrangement was really to save face or Emilys reputation because she has become poor. Faulkner is so cau

12、tious even in the words he uses to reflect this arrangement of a bygone era: “Only a man of Colonel Sartoris” generation and thought could have invented it, and only a woman could have believed it.” (1) However, the town council of Jeffersons next generation has changed their values, demands Emily p

13、ay as all the rest of them. Faulkner notes that the townspeople sent the Baptist ministerMiss Emilys people were Episcopalto call upon her, and they also send threatening letters demanding she pay her taxes. But Miss Emily said, “perhaps he considers himself the sheriffI have no taxes in Jefferson.”

14、 (2) And she repeated one sentence in fury again and again, just as “see Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson.” Under such circumstances, the city authorities were forced to give up collecting her taxes.On townspeoples complains about the smell, the townspeople had no courage to ask her to

15、 get rid of it. That happened, shortly after her sweetheart deserted her. Four townspeople reduced themselves to the roles of nighttime prowlers, “slunk” around Miss Emilys house and “sprinkled” (3) lime. Creeping away, they see Miss Emily silhouetted in the window, “her upright torso motionless as

16、that of an idol,” (4) From the descriptive words, the readers can see that Miss Emily has been dominating the community. On the disposal of the dead body of his father, when her father died, she became “crazy”. Faulkner wrote, “She told them his father was not dead. She did that for three days.” (5)

17、 No one could persuade her to dispose of the body until they were going to resort to law and force. Then she broke down and they buried her father quickly. They remembered all of the young men her father had driven away, and they knew that nothing left; she would have to cling to that which had robb

18、ed her.On the purchase of poison, Faulkner depicts Emily and her family as a high social class. Emily did carry herself with dignity and people gave her that respect. Emily was a strong willed person especially when she went into the drug store for the arsenic. She said “Arsenic”, “I want arsenic.”

19、(6) the druggist wanted to know what she wanted it for and she answered back “I want the best you have. I dont care what kind.”(7) Needless to say, the druggist never got an answer. The druggist gave Emily poison out of fear and respect, possibly.On the marriage of Miss Emily with Homer Barron, afte

20、r the shock of her fathers death, Miss Emily got another shock from Barron because he did not want to marry her. Homer was just as a liar to Emily. She had a tragic life, one of the reasons was her fathers death, and we can notice this because when he died she denies it. She didnt want to be left al

21、one and when Homer tried to leave her she prefers to kill him. Homer was a Forman for a road construction company, Faulkner writes “ a foreman named Homer Barron, a Yankeea big, dark, ready man, with a big voice and eyes lighter than his face.” (8) Emilys father probably would not be pleased with th

22、is affair with Homer. Homer was a “commoner,” a “northerner” and did not fit the social standards of her father. Emily, like most women dreamed of getting married and having a family and most of all, being loved. The gossip around town was spreading; the townspeople said “when she got to thirty and

23、was still single, we were not pleased, but vindicated; . She wouldnt have turned down all of her chances if they had materialized.” (9) Emily wanted to be loved, and she was determined that Homer would be her true love to rescue her from fear, of being left alone. Emily took a great liking to Homer,

24、 but Homers feelings about the relationship were different. It was rumored that “even Homer himself had remarked-he liked men, and it was known that he drunk with younger men in the Elks clubthat he was not a marrying man.” (10) Homer left Emily and the town for three days, and then came back. While

25、 Homer was gone, Emily was still preparing for her wedding. She bought invitations and clothes for Homer. Emily grew fearful of Homers departure, afraid of being left alone again. Faulkner writes “A neighbor saw the Negro man (Tobe) admit him at the kitchen door at dusk one evening. And thats the la

26、st we saw of Homer Barron.” (11)Miss Emily could not accept change to any degree. She was unable to ameliorate as the rest of society did. The new generation became the backbone and the spirit of the town. The old south is becoming the New South. Miss Emily did not allow a house number to be placed

27、on her house when the town received free postal service. Miss Emilys ability to refuse change was very strong. She conquered the town. And she was not willing to face new things.Mentioning so many conflicts here, William Faulkner has his own ideas. And it is only the first step of creating the story

28、 successfully. When the readers understand Emily, they can a clearer view of actions that go on during the story. William Faulkners use of conflicts proves to a positive way to exemplify the readers feelings about certain characters and tribulations they experience.Chapter Most of us may think Miss

29、Emily is a queer woman. However, if we carefully go through this short story, we would find that she is not queer at all. William Faulkner shows great sympathy to Miss Emily, the lady of a declining aristocratic family. It is not Miss Emilys own fault that caused her tragedy. One reason is that her

30、fathers influence over her is deep-rooted all her life. Being the last descendant of the Griersons family, it seemed that it was Miss Emilys responsibility and duty to be “a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town.” (12) Another reason, the influence, or the restriction of the town folks in Jeff

31、erson never stopped. She had been regarded as “a fallen monument” which was respectfully sought guidance from by the old town folks and became the symbol of the Old South. What they wanted to see was a never degenerative true noble southern lady. After the American Civil War, everything of the Old S

32、outh had been on the way of decline and death. Most of the southerners could not adapt to such kind of change, they refused to accept such kind of change. They eagerly tried to find an image, an unusual person to stand the glorious past for them to respect and recall. Miss Emily, the last descendant of the Grierson, just living in such period of time. Therefore we can safely conclude that it is the influence of her father, the town folks, the environment and her own character that caused t
