{{work}}

 

The plot deals about an [[Antebellum America|Antebellum]] lady, Emily Grierson, and the perceptions the people in the small town have about her. Miss Emily, raised by her [[Overprotective Dad]], gets a [[Parental Marriage Veto]] so strong that when the man dies she finds herself [[Christmas Cake|unmarried at an age she couldn't get suitors]]. Due to this, and the signs that the poor woman has an increasingly tenuous grasp on reality due to oversheltering, she becomes a source for local gossip. Things get a turn for the interesting with the arrival of one Homer Barron, a Northerner who courted her, and whose ambiguous intentions and evident social disparity fuel the gossip. When Mr. Barron then disappears in mysterious circumstances, the gossip only increases.

 

For years, Miss Emily becomes the local "loony old lady", strange and temperamental but mostly harmless. So, when the woman finally dies, nothing prepares the town for the discoveries on her home when the local authorities get to retrieve her body...
