Abstract
William Faulkner (1897—1962) is now regarded as the greatest American novelist of the twentieth century.“ A Rose for Emily” was his first published short story in 1930. It depicts Emily Grierson, a noble old spinster, who falls in love with a Yankee, Homer, and later kills him and has slept with the dead body for forty years. Since then, Emily isolates herself from the outside world and lives lonely in her house until her death. Since its publication, “A Rose for Emily” has enjoyed great attention due to its adroit plot and impressive character, so that the readers merely view it as a Gothic novel. They are impressed and horrified by the gloomy atmosphere as well as the grotesque behavior of Emily. However, this story cannot be read merely as a detective story so as to overlook the profound meaning behind it. Emily’s killing of Homer is not due to her blood-thirsty nature, rather it is the result of the southern society. After analysizing the social causes of Emily’s tragic change from a lady into a devil, eventually the paper comes to a conclusion that Emily’s degradation is a series of consequence of the southern social system: patriarchal chauvinism, puritan womanhood, conflict between community and individual. In fact, she is the victim of the southern tradition and culture. Through this kind of study, the reader can get a further understanding of the then American south and Faulkner’s intention to write such a horrifying short story. Key words: social causes, patriarchal chauvinism, puritan womanhood, sense of community, individualism Resume: William Faulkner(1897-1962) est considere aujourd’hui comme le romancier americain le plus connu du 20e siecle. Une Rose pour Emily est sa premiere nouvelle publiee en 1930. Ce livre decrit Emily Grierson, une vieille fille, qui tombe amoureux d’un Yankee, Homer, et le tue apres pour dormir avec le cadavre pour 40 ans. Des lors, elle s’isole du monde exterieur et vit solitairement dans sa maison jusqu’a la mort. Depuis sa publication, Une Rose pour Emily attirent beaucoup d’attention grâce a son intrigue habile et son caractere impressif, de sorte que les lecteurs le considerent seulement comme une nouvelle gothique. Ils sont impressionnes et horrifies par l’atmosphere sombre et le comportement grotesque d’Emily. Neanmoins, cette nouvelle ne peut nuellement etre lue comme une histoire policiere et on ne peut pas negliger sa signification profonde. Le meurtre d’Emily n’est pas du a sa nature sanguinaire, il est plutot le resultat de la socite du sud. Apres l’analyse des causes sociales de la tragedie d’Emily transformant d’une demoiselle en monstre, l’article parvient a la conclusion que la degradation d’Emily est la consequence du systeme social du sud : le chauvinisme patriarcal, la condition feminine puritaine, le conflit entre la communaute et l’individu. En fait, elle est la victime de la tradition et la culture du sud. A travers cette etude, le lecteur peut avoir une meilleure connaissance du sud des Etats-Nnis d’alors et de l’intention de Faulker d’ecrire une telle nouvelle horrible. Mots-Cles: causes sociales, chauvinisme patriarcal, condition feminine puritaine, sens de communaute, individualisme
