When the townspeople discover the remains of Homer Barron locked away in Miss Emily’s bedroom after her death, we see that Miss Emily ultimately rejected the values of her culture. This is true not only in rejecting its values on dating or marriage but also those disdaining murder. In this way Miss Emily rejects the rigid values that have ruled most of her life. As Dilworth (1999) maintains, “By entering a love affair with Homer Barron, Emily briefly rebelled against southern values and then, by ending her affair with him, at least as far as the townspeople were concerned, she conformed again to those values” (p. 251). In contrast, the narrator does not want to shoot the elephant but ultimately does.

Later on in chapter seven there is a conflict involving Tom, Daisy and Gatsby. Gatsby encourages Daisy to tell Tom she never loved him, which she had most likely lied to Gatsby about earlier. She unwillingly replies, “I never loved him.” (page 126). Rethinking that answer she soon after takes that back saying that she did love both Tom and Gatsby. Although she has lied to them both, it is more likely that this is a lie she is telling herself.
The narrator states the mother’s resentment of Connie’s beauty because “her looks were gone and that was why she was always after Connie.”[451]. Connie doesn’t make the situation between the two any better by instigating her mother with curt answers and rude responses. “Her parents and her sister were going to a barbecue at an aunt’s house and Connie said ‘no’, she wasn’t interested, rolling her eyes to let her mother know exactly what she thought.”[453]. the only time Connie fully admits that she truly did love her mother was when she was crying in the phone for her. Connie’s father is a quiet bystander when it came to his wife and daughter heated arguments.
Events that occur early in a person’s life could have a major effect on who they become as adults. Dealing with the death of a close relative, and experiencing betrayal from a person, whom one would never expect it, can majorly mess up a person’s outlook on life. Such events were mentioned in Sandra Cisneros’ short story, “Never Marry a Mexican”. It tells a story about a woman, named Clemencia, who has trust issues because of things she witnessed and experienced in her family, with her mother mostly, when she was young. Witnessing and experiencing betrayal, infidelity and abandonment during coming of age could lead to negative effects on a person like developing trust issues and mental problems.
