Who is the narrator in Faulkners “A Rose for Emily”?
Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” is a successful story not only because of its intricately complex chronology, but also because of its unique narrative point of view. Most critics incorrectly consider the narrator, who uses “we” as though speaking for the entire town, to be young, impressionable, and male; however, on close examination, we realize that the narrator is not young and is never identified as being either male or female.
