A Rose for Emily

This short story equals creepy. Webster's definition of creepy: "having or causing a sensation of the skin, caused by fear or horror; obnoxious, weird." My definition of creepy: "A Rose for Emily." Not only is the plot weird, the structure of the short story is also erratic. Narration skips around from past to present, event to event, and it is very hard to keep up. Although description is given of Emily's background, its not organzied well enough to easily interpret a motive for the events in the story. All that is really said about her family is that they are also weird, creepy, and possibly crazy. Obviously we get that. I do not know if the broken and unorganized structure has a purpose or not. To me, it gives the story more of an edge and adds to the unknowing and CREEPY tone of the story.
