湖南自考英语毕业论文：论《献给艾米丽的一支玫瑰花》中的哥特式情结

Given the above analysis, we can arrive at the point that A Rose for Emily reflects gothic characteristics in four aspects of the description of the heroin’s house, the theme, the narrative way, and the character of the heroin. The author, Faulkner expresses his complicated feeling for the South’s loss precisely by using gothic characteristics in A Rose for Emily. He not only expresses his hatred for the North by Emily’s killing Homer, but also shows his contempt for the backward system and decayed thought of the South by Homer’s refusal to marry to Emily. And the gothic fiction vividly pictures us the miserable life of southern people after the Civil War. So A Rose for Emily shows us the perfect combination between gothic characteristic and realistic content.
