The author cites “John is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious.” In the end I honestly believe that John genuinely love his wife but was clueless in helping her get better. I don’t think John would drive his wife to madness or insanity deliberately. 3. What might her bedroom have been used as before? Why is this significant?
We are quickly acknowledged to the fact that the man is a very loving and caring person, and so was his wife. However, as much as he trusted his wife and loves her, she does not feel the same way: " Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died." (153). Quickly we realize that his wife was not as loving, caring, or faithful as him because she was going to deceive her man had it not been such a dreadful outcome, her death. The man always thought his partner loved him back equally as much as he loved her, perceiving almost a perfect relationship to the reader.
Her father had said, “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” (364) Her father never allowed her to make her own decisions even when she was almost 30 years old. Many people think that maybe the reason why he was so strict with Miss Emily and why he put so much pressure on her could have traced back to her family. Emily’s family was a very noble family and her father had thought that they were the most prominent in the entire town and that no one else was fit for Miss Emily. Any time a man would come close to being a part of Emily’s life, her father would not allow it and he would chase them all off. Her father had kept her away from any experience with love that she might ever have known.

It is evident that as time passes, the people of Jefferson as well as her dying father become forceful (needs to be a different word) towards her. Faulkner makes it obvious to the reader in the story’s opening scene that her and her father have always been old fashioned. Her father always scared away potential suitors for his daughter, because they didn’t meet his expectations. While the story is never given an exact date, the narrator makes it clear to the reader that the characteristics and customs were long outdated, even for the deep south. Emily is a character, along with her family and possessions are all antiques from a time since gone, the very embodiment of the old south.
She refuses to have metal numbers on her house and to pay the taxes the officials urge her to pay. She refutes paying taxes claiming that the “general” said that taxes don’t have to be paid. Emily is living in the past and refusing to live up to the changing world around her. In doing so, she is an emblem of the old south and is representative of the old aristocratic nature of the Old South. However she refuses to change these patterns and align with the changing social order of the south.
He was willing to do whatever he can to marry her putting all of his political reasons aside from him. Even when Jane had left him he became miserable and his life went in a terrible direction. As for Jane, she also became depressed and continued thinking about him. When she returned to see him he was joyous and they both lived together happily.

The death in the story is not so noticeable as you begin reading. Decay on the other hand is apparent. As a child, her life was very difficult. Her father occupied a high social position in the town of Jefferson. He shunned Emily from society and forbade anyone to see or even meet her.
He was not able to come to terms with himself that the times were changing, and in turn, Emily was shunned away from the more modern generation of people her own age. Being the obedient daughter she was had caused Emily to become very desolate at the time of her father’s death. It led her to a life locked away in her house, preserving what little she could hold on to. Not only did her
