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.
One simile in, "A Rose For Emily" is in the first beginning when the aldermen visits Emily's house to ask for her taxes, Faulkner describes her as "bloated, like a body long submerged in motionless water, and of that pallid hue."
The narrator is speaking in first person plural, as a common-man in the town :)
In "A Rose for Emily," Miss Emily is compared to a "fallen monument" and a "tradition, a duty, and a care." These metaphors suggest her esteemed but crumbling reputation, as well as the weight of the town's expectations and history that she carries.
