 If you need help developing your paper, here are some other questions which could help you develop your narrative.

 Comment on the title of the story: 
What does “rose” symbolize? 
 What does the depiction of the manservant tell us about the historical and social context in America then? 
How do the townspeople approach him? 
What is his name and what might it connote? 
Would you consider Miss Emily a scapegoat? Discuss. 
 Who is the protagonist of the story? 
 Who is the antagonist of the story? 
What does the antagonist represent in the story? 
 Why does the narrator scramble the chronology of events in the story? 
 What type of woman is represented through Miss Emily Grierson? 
 Find some references to social class in the story and discuss what these might indicate about the social and historical context in the story.
 To what extent would you consider the story a critical commentary about Southern society?


 Good luck,
