Since Miss Emily's interest was caught when she learned that it could even kill an elephant, it's safe to say that she never intended the poison for rats. The townspeople speculated that she would kill herself with it due to heartbreak over Homer Barron. However, the body in her bedchamber compiled with the missing Homer Barron lead the reader to believe that she used it to kill Homer in an effort to ensure that he could never leave her.
