Emily Grierson is a sheltered woman who was deprived of life through her fathers selfishness. Emily was isolated from society. It seems like she never left that big house of hers, which belonged to her after her fathers death. Emily was left only with a black man who answered her front door like Lurch from the Adams Family. She wanted a man to love her, and to one day become her husband. Well, she did find a man by the name of Homer Barron. Emily didn't want to be left by her lonesome. To prevent her lover from leaving her she killed him.
Through the story, people continuously uttered "poor Emily." They felt sorry for her. She was lonely, and was madly in search for a companion to keep her company. From Mr. Griersons (Emily's father) wrong doings, in my opinion Emily Grierson developed a mental sickness. A stable human being wouldn't kill their lover and keep the buying laying around in order to keep them close by. Through isolation, Emily desired to be loved and wanted to love a man and maybe have a family. Things didn't work out her way. Desires can make people do the unquestionable. This drove Emily to become a murderer.
