The Lonely Life of Ms. Emily Grierson
In the course of one's life, a person must once experience the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, or the state of being without company. Being impossible to avoid, loneliness inflicts everyone at some point in their life. The sadness and grief of being alone is often pensive and unbearable, yet sometimes can be peaceful and meditative. Loneliness, just like any other emotion, has an immense power to transform a person's attitude, thoughts, and behavior. Sometimes, being alone can give a person the chance to reflect and think, and depending on their attitude, can cause them to react in a responsible or even a hateful way. In the story, "A Rose for Emily", this feeling of solitariness inundates Ms. Emily Grierson, and she is eventually driven insane by it.
The author of "A Rose for Emily", William Faulkner, was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897.
