Abstract

A Rose for Emily is one of Faulkner's most famous short stories. The sophisticated plot and vivid characterization design made the image of Emily very popular. Many scholars resolve this novel from different aspects. This article mainly discusses the reasons of Emily’s tragedy. These reasons generally can be divided into two categories, one is the environmental factor, and the other is Emily herself. This article will describe these two reasons in details to make people think about whether Emily is really the victim or it is a destiny.
