The Chick And The Egg : Poems And Short Stories
She begins to go out with Homer Barron. They talk to the minister. She is approached about the matter, but with no results. They come to visit and she has to deal with them. For a while nothing happens. The people in town look at this and think that she and Homer Barron are going to get married. The paving of the sidewalks is finished.
The people think that he has gone home ahead to prepare for Miss Emily. Few days later he returns and he is seen entering the house. Miss Emily is seen after some time. She appears fat and her hair has grown gray. When she is around forty, she puts up a studio for china painting.
This was her last attempt to socialize. She dies alone, in the big, old, moldy house. The people go to pay their respects. They act more out of curiosity than sadness. The last unrevealed secret; a room which has been locked for forty years, is opened.

The room is attired as if ready for a bride. A sense of dume fills it. A collar and a tie remain on a dressing table. A suit carefully folded and a pair of shoes and worn socks, can be seen by a chair. The bed is occupied by a fleshless skeleton. It lies there in an embracing motion. The nightshirt and the rotting body are plastered to the bed. On the pillow beside him, can be seen the indentation of a head and on it a long strand of iron gray hair.
She becomes what she is because of her father and what happens to her with Homer Barron. Her father never gave her the freedom of acting on her own. He deprived her of a boyfriend. Her boyfriend, Homer Barron, is also a big reason why she becomes secluded from life. She wants to marry him. He wants to pass the time, and as he states, he likes mem. Theme The themes are: Characters Miss Emily Grierson—At first we see her as an old, small fat woman in black.
She walks with a cane. Her skeleton is small but her body is obese. She looks bloated as if her body has been submerged in motionless water. Her eyes are small and lost in the fatness of her face. Her voice is dry and cold. She does things with pride. She is a bit eccentric. She does not move with time. She remains secluded in her own little world. The father—He is stubborn. He is seen with a horsewhip.
He feels that no one is good enough for his daughter. He has driven away all the young men who were interested in Miss Emily. Homer Barron—He is a Yankee. He is big and dark. He has a big voice and eyes lighter than his face.
