Hi, need to submit a 250 words essay on the topic Character Analysis and pick one of those .William Faulkner, A Rose for Emily, and Andre Dubus, Killings.

Emily has killed Homer because society killed her independence and happiness first due to social class and gender norms.

In the beginning, the story presents Emily with both admiration and criticism because of her class status. Emily belongs to a family of an upper-class family that is respected in the community. When she died, the narrator states that she has gone to where her social class went to, along with “representatives of those august names” (Faulkner par.2). She is a Grierson, one of the most respected names in town. The tone of the story mixes respect and ridicule, however.
