Abstract

A Rose for Emily is William Faulkner's typical short novel. It is a story without rose. "Rose" has very deep symbolic meanings in the novel. It connects with the theme and characteristics of the heroine closely. This paper tries to analyze the symbolic meanings of the rose and disclose the inevitable causes of Emily's tragedy character distortion.
