Abstract

This article examines the unusual narrator of William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily." Faulkner shifts from third to first person at one point and uses 'we' to indicate the consensus of the small town. However, what the 'we' relates does not appear to be unanimous opinion. The author believes Faulkner may have been mimicking contemporary magazine prose.
