To what extent do concepts of honor and tradition influence the action in "A Rose for Emily"?
In the small town that 'A Rose for Emily' takes place in, it seems that one of the traditions is for a woman to find a man to marry. This causes Emily to desperately seek out a life companion, and even when it turns out that his latest suitor actually plays for the other team, to keep trying to keep him around with her. This eventually led to the murder and the creepy laying-in-bed-with-the-dead-guy thing. Yeah... she kinda took that to the next level.
