A Rose for Emily: Difference between revisions

* [[Overprotective Dad]]: The story paints the image of Emily in the background, and her father at the door with her back to her, bullwhip in hand. It is implied this is why she never got engaged.

* [[Personal Effects Reveal]]: The inhabitants find her husband's possessions (she bought for him for their wedding) after her death. {{spoiler|The long deceased owner is still present...}} ]]

* [[Yandere]]: Of the posessive variety, the eponymous Emily Grier fell in love with Homer Barron, a workman far below her (perceived) class. One day, he went in Emily's house and was never seen leaving. When Emily eventually passes away, her house is searched and it turns out she killed Homer with arsenic, dressed him in a suit, and kept the corpse on her bed.
