The interesting narrator of “A Rose for Emily” are the first people. Often mentioning themselves as “we”. The narrator occasionally speaks for both Jefferson men and women. It also spans three generations: the Jeffersons, Miss Emily's father, Miss Emily's father, and the “new generation,” made up of the children of Miss Emily's generation. The narrator is rather focused on the first two generations, and it is not difficult to perceive how their approach to Miss Emily may have led to her collapse. This gives the narrative a moderately confessional quality. Notice how no specific citizen is completely responsible for what happened to Emily. The city's desire to accept responsibility now is an optimistic sign and allows us to visualize a more exceptional future for future generations. We can think of several words to define the tone of the story that seem to dominate the poignant tones of the narrator is conveying the tone of Emily's story. It's ironic because in the story Emily is constantly given thorns instead of roses, and she contributes many thorns in return. Because the narrator is a member of the town and takes responsibility for all of the citizens' actions, the narrator admits to the crimes against Emily. This can also be described as gossiping, particularly when you admit the wrongdoings of others. The first line of Section IV is an acceptable characteristic of aspects of tone: “So the next day we all said. "He will kill himself;" and we said that would be the best thing.” This is where exasperation comes in. This drives us crazy, we feel like the narrator is too exasperated, especially in this section. This brings us back to c...... middle of paper......onality. Modernism tries to create something useful from fragments. We can feel it in “A Rose for Emily”. In Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken, the narrator has come to a split path in the woods. It's autumn and the leaves have started to change color. The narrator is uncertain which path to take and wishes to go both ways. He searches for a path as far away as possible, but suddenly chooses to take the other one. He believes that the route he chose to take is not as used as the other, but in reality the routes are somewhat identical and the fallen leaves both look quite recent. The narrator expresses how he intends to take the path he has not taken another day, but assumes that perhaps he will never return. Alternatively, remotely in the future, he will talk about how his selection was decisive and life-changing.
