Paper Summary:

The paper explicates the ways in which the female protagonists of "A Rose for Emily" (William Faulkner), "Hindus" (Bharati Mukherjeeand) and "Astronomer's Wife" (Kay Boyle) overcome the stereotypes that society cast on them and the effect it had on them. The author of the paper concludes that the female characters of the above mentioned stories are the direct opposite of the women of their own times.

From the Paper:

"According to some sources she was a strong, willful woman who after her father s death had completely retreated into her past. What s worth mentioning here is that she was happy being there i.e. in the past. Emily was clearly suffering from denial she was unable to come to terms with her father s death and then Colonel Sartoris passing away and so she continued to harbor the illusion that they were still there for her (especially Colonel Sartoris). She refused to let anyone threaten her imaginary world and so remained adamant about taxes when the new Board of Alderman approached her."
