t Miss Emily Grierson:\rAnswer:\r1) She is an eccentric spinster who refuses to accept the passage of time or the inevitable change and\rloss that accompanies it.\r2) She is the symbols of the Old South but the prisoners of the past.\r3) Something about plots: Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary\robligation upon the town, and she vanquished the people in the town, horse and foot, just as she had\rvanquished their fathers thirty years before about the smell. And she is the victim of the idea of her\rfamily: none of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such. Then she fell in love\rwith a Northerner, but some of the ladies began to say that it was a disgrace to the town and a bad\rexample to the young men. (P617)
