Give a brief analysis of Emily Grierson the protagonist of A Rose for Emily by Faulkner.
【正确答案】:Set in the town of Jefferson in Yoknapatawpa, the story focuses on Emily Grierson, an eccentric spinster who refuses to accept the passage of time, or the inevitable charge and loss that accompanied it.As a descendent of the Southern aristocracy, Emily is typical of those in Fawlkner's Yoknapatwapha stories who are the symbols of the Old South but the prisoners of the past.
