Can anyone help me for these questions?
1.what is meaningful in the final detail that the strand of hair on the second pillow is iron-gray?
2. Who is the unnamed narrator? For whom does he profess to be speaking?
3.Why does " A Rose For Emily " seem better told from his point of view than if it were told from the point of view of the main character?
4.What foreshadowings of the discovery of the body of Homer Barron are we given earlier in the story?
5.What contrast does the narrator draw between changing reality and Emily's refusal or inability to recognize change?
6. How do the character and background of Emily Grierson differ from those of Homer Barron? What general observations about the society that Faulkner depicts can be made from his portraits of these two characters and from his account of life in this one mississippit town?
7. What do you infer to be the author's attitude toward Emily Grierson? Is she simply a murderous madwoman?

It's been a long time since i read this but i'll try to help. 1. It means she lay down beside him after he was already dead and she was old. So She perhaps killed him to keep him with her forever 2. I don't remember, sorry 3. I don't know for sure but i think that would give way too much away. We are left to guess at what is going on 4. When Emily bought the rat poison and when the house smelled so bad they had to put lye around it 5. your on your own here 6. He was poor and happy and she was rich and very sheltered and unhappy and wierd. It's basically saying money isn't all it's made out to be. In this town they seem to understand that titles aren't everything 7. She's sad and deluded but she is doing what she thinks is right.
I haven't read this in so long that my answers are probably quite wrong, check them with someone else first if you decide to use the ones I could remember. This is a pretty disgusting story. I don't really know why teachers asign it. Good luck!

I can't answer ALL the questions, but I can answer one of them:
2. Who is the unnamed narrator? For whom does he profess to be speaking?
I think "the unnamed narrator" is one of the townspeople.
I had to read this for my English class last year, and I REALLY didn't understand it. I had to have the story explained to me.
Wish I could help you with more than just one question, but I can't. Sorry.

Did you check pinkmonkey notes or enotes? Or you could try reading the story and coming up with your own, thoughtful answers.
