After I read Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”, I understood a lot of the imagery used. I decided to read it again in order to catch and enjoy all of the symbolisms and imagery that I missed the first time.
I was especially mystified with how Faulkner gives the reader many hints about what is actually happening, but the reader can’t understand the hints until the end. For example, there is a lot of allusion to death and dead bodies, mirroring what happens to Emily’s husband, including references to violence and bloating. These language clues are of no help what so ever the first time you read the story but it creates for a whole new dimension when you read it again.
