From the Paper:

"When we begin to study the Literature and History of the South the fist writer we are introduced to is William Faulkner. Faulkner created in a sense a world in the South that was hard to forget. He brought to his readers the actual essence of the South and became a interpreter of history the history of the South and the interpreter of the human nature and relationships. At a time when sex, race and class were taboo issues he used them to state the world that was a part of people at that time. A Rose for Emily is thus one of his novels where he gives his readers a picture of the South as it was. "
