Abstract

A Rose for Emily is one of the representative works of Southern literature in America, which portrays the tragic life of a traditional Southern noble woman. After suffering from the destruction of traditional customs and patriarchy in the South, the protagonist wakes up to fight against feudal thoughts and finally fails miserably. This paper analyzes the protagonist Emily’s powerlessness and struggle in the face of social changes and other people’s satirical comments under the education and influence of patriarchy from the perspective of feminism, as well as the distorted human nature of pursuing good love and even murdering her lover. At the same time, it also makes a detailed analysis of the social environment from this perspective, so that we can find more information about the current situation of social feminism at that time. In the end, we can reveal the tragic life of the women represented by Emily, who became deformed, humble and helpless in the American Southern society under the oppression of the old tradition, the puritan view of women’s morality, the patriarchal family and the decadent Southern marriage system. This paper aims to alert the world to learn and promote feminism and establish a harmonious society with equality between men and women. Only in this way can we promote the establishment of a free, equal and harmonious society.
