A Rose For Emily

I think A Rose for Emily could be an allegory for the civil war. The era that the story seemed to take place seemed to be of a time similar to what it would be right after this war. As creepy stories go, this one was very confusing. As far as i could tell though i thought that Emily was like the North, and then Homer was the South. At first it seemed that Emily's father wanted her to stay with him because he was very protective of her. She gained this same attitude trait from him, so when Homer wanted to leave her, she didn't take it too well. This caused her to murder him so that he would not leave her. This is similar to the North and South because the North wanted the South to follow its ways but yet not leave it. The south wanted to leave to a point as to not have to follow the north's rules. This is how i think it coincides!
