Characterization and irony are connected to the theme in "A Rose for Emily" by highlighting the complexities of human nature and society. The characterization of Emily as a reclusive and eccentric figure serves to underscore the theme of isolation and decay in the face of changing times, while the ironic twists in the plot reveal the consequences of denying reality and clinging to the past. Together, these elements contribute to Faulkner's exploration of themes such as tradition, control, and the inevitability of change.

There is dramatic, situational, and verbal irony. Dramatic Irony- the contrast between what the character knows and what his audience knows. Situational Irony- the contrast between what was expected to happen and what actually ended up happening. Verbal Irony- the contrast between what is said and what is meant. These types of irony have to do with the conflict, theme, and setting.
