In "A Rose for Emily," Emily becomes a monument due to her refusal to change with the times and her isolation from the community. She is seen as a symbol of the fading aristocratic South, and her home, which once stood out prominently, becomes a representation of both her and the town's reluctance to adapt. Her death at the end solidifies her status as a figurative monument, frozen in time.
