A Rose For Miss Emily

Did you think the town's people treated Emily Grierson fairly or too severe? In response to the story "A Rose For Emily" I certainly believe the town's people treated Ms Emily fairly. Ms Emily was a very anti-social individual she never took the time to communicate with the locals, so in exchange the people in the town didn't know what was going on in Ms Emily's personal life they only assumed. After the death of …

…a lady of her status. For instance, Emily's refusal to respond to the Mayor's letters, and also tolerating the foul smell around Emily's property. Even Judge Stevens didn't want to send word to Ms Emily notifying her of the foul smelling place. And also when they did not like to see Ms Emily with Homer Barron instead of addressing her they notify a family member. Bluntly, Ms Emily displayed traits of being a stubborn woman.
