Reflection #4 The horror story

This story “Rose for Emily” is most definitely one of the most terrifying stories I have read. Its tone is not only dark but it has or it contains a lot of gothic element which can make the story seem like true possible event. In the class we discussed about a similar but yet real situation were the act of necrophilia was presented and that a person would preserve there dead spouse. This story contain a part whish can be determined has symbolism but at he same time has a part that can be considered as realistic. In the case of symbolism the father represented the power and the control over Emily even in death. The truth is that Emily was so submissive to her father dominances that she was left too feel like he was never dead an that what provoke her to do such a terrifying act. The fact that she had screwed perspective of life and death. She also seemed so desperate to have a man figure around her al time that she committed that act of poising and preserving that poor Negro body. The story at first might of seemed innocent enough but her secrecy made the story appealing to the reader to keep on reading to see what was really going un. In away her life seemed crowded by mystery since first time that she had to pay taxes to the appearance or better said the disappearance of that possible homosexual African American man. That perspective part were she asked the clerk for arsenic made me too believe that she was capable of terrible thing but I never suspected such hay horridness act of insanity even if the writer expressed her as saine but her background led me to believe otherwise. So in conclusion I must say this story is a must read for its graphic representation and its suspenseful mood of the story.
