This research paper: This is a 6 page paper comparing the critical perspectives of two analyses of Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Renee Curry and Celia Rodriguez both analyzed the components of distance in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Curry however highlighted the importance of the fact that a gender was not assigned to the narrator and this provided a distance for the reader in regards to the perspective presented in the work and instead limited the narrator’s ability to narrate actions and events within the story. Rodriguez acknowledges the presence of the “unnamed” narrator but analyzed the aspect that the characters within the story represented either elements of the present or the past and because of this division, the readers felt further distanced from the characters who lived in the past; especially Emily. The analysis of these two criticisms probably best highlights how Faulkner successfully managed to distance the reader from the mystery which provided an additional sense of curiosity in the reader, and the townspeople, as to the mystery within Emily’s house, by using multiple elements of his narrative and the subtle use of time and perspective. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
