“A Rose For Emily” by William Faulkner †Foreshadowing Essay

Foreshadowing is often used by an source to heighten the interest in the story. The author of A Rose for Emily foreshadows the denudation of Homer Barrons body in a few distinguishable ways. The smell that develops around Emilys house, and Homer never returning to Emilys house are both foreshadowing what happens later in the story. When Emily went into the drug store saying I want the best you comport. I get int care what kind,(William Faulkner) and purchased rat acerbate, it immediately informed the reader that somebody is the story was going to die. While reading this story, I believed that Emily purchased the rat poison in order to kill herself, not Homer Barron. Right at the end of the story, when the door to the house gets opened, the Negro immediately leaves, which indicates that he has got something to hide. We in short find out that he indeed had something to hide, Homer Barrons body. Emily Griersons portrayal of reality is completely different from the reality surrou nding her.Emily doesnt allow the mayor to put up a placebox in front of her house, and refuses to take away the fact that there might be mail coming to her house. She believes that since she doesnt have any actual friends, there forget be no mail getting delivered to her house. She believes that since nobody is friends with her, she should have no mail. Emily refuses to accept a lot of things. She also refuses to pay taxes because she has no taxes in Jefferson (William Faulkner). After her fathers death Emily had been dismissed of paying taxes and had calm not realized that time had gone by and things had deviated. Emily also refused to accept her fathers death and follow the rules at the pharmacy when asked to come out the reason she that she needs rat poison. Emily Grierson does not seem to understand that things change as time passes by. Homer may have changed his mind approximately being with Emily, but Emily did not want to accept this fact. This may have caused her to k eep Homer with her forever, in her own, sick, twisted way.
