A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner

By in News on .

“ So when she got to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but vindicated” (Faulkner).

Edward Hopper: the artist that evoked urban loneliness and disappointment with beautiful clarity | The Independent | The Independent
I chose this quote because it represents the way of thinking during this time period. The townspeople were clearly not happy that Ms. Emily was 30 years old and not married, but since her father had run off all potential suitors for her, it was a justifiable reason as to why she is single. Because she had no husband, she was very lonely after the death of her father— her trauma.
