When I started reading A Rose for Emily I pitied Emily. Her father died and her funds were low. But, as the story continued my feelings changed towards her. I began to think she was a little stuck up because she wouldn't venture out of her home or marry.
I didn't think she was mad until she went to the store to get arsenic and wouldn't give a reason why. I caught onto the foreshadowing about Homer Barron disappearing soon after the arsenic was bought and her house was locked up.
I also don't think Barron was homosexual. I think he likes to have a fun time with his guy friends and doesn't want to settle down.
The point of view for this story was what made it so interesting. If it was 1st person it would have been completely different. It was for the best to know other facts the narrator threw in.
