Who is miss Emily in 'A Rose for Emily'?

Answer 1

Emily Grierson is the faded southern belle and resident spinster of a small southern town in William Faulkner's "A Rose For Emily". The silver haired lady has become a tragic symbol of a life wasted but the town has no idea what dark secret she harbors.

Answer 2

She was a woman that the townspeople (narrator(s)/us) constantly watched go from a young woman to an elderly lady. In the short story not much is learnt about her later life as she spent most if not all of it inside her house and was only seen walking by a window at times. One thing that is learned is that she killed Homer Baron and preserved his body in order to fulfill her duty of housewife, she was a monument of the old south therefore her primary duty in life was to secure her future and because of her relationship with her father, the only way to preserve her future was by preserving Homer Baron's body. That is the best I can come up with lol...
