A Rose for Emliy
Plot is not in chronological order. It begins at the resolution and flashbacks to the conflict, climax, and resolution. Exposition-Paragraph 60, last line when the police find the dead body in the attic with her grey hair and pillow indention next to it
Setting-1931 in an older, conservative town, mostly in Miss Emily's House or right outside of it
Character- Miss Emily is an old, fat, partially crazy woman who killed her husband/lover right before she died herself; the negro was a black man who took care and brought food to Miss Emily, he didnt talk very much;Homer Barron was Emily's love who ran out on her, he could make her laugh and had a great sense of humor
Conflict-the townspeople wanted to expose Miss EMily and basically ruin her until there was nothing left, they wanted to destroy her privacy (external, man v man)
Rising Action-People of the town felt sorry for her since she just lost her father and sweetheart, they called her "poor Miss Emily" to show their sympathy for how badly they treated her as well as others
Climax- the lady makes everyone think she will kill herself with poison if they don't stop trying to get into her business, makes it worse since everyone wants to know what will happen to Miss Emily
Falling Action-Miss Emily dies herself, people finally get to look inside her house and be nosey with it
Resolution-everyone finally leaves Miss Emily to rest in the ground, and she will no longer be bothered anymore
