Homer Barron’s Responsibility for His Own Fate in Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Homer Barron’s responsibility for his own fate in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Homer Barron is responsible for his own fate in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” mostly because he was responsible for his own actions within their relationship and he would have known how his actions affected her. Emily was known as an old fashioned woman who had been dominated by her father. When her father died, she did not acknowledge his death and she kept him in the house for some time. Homer, a charismatic Northern construction foreman, arrived in the town not long afterward and soon knew everyone in the town including Emily. Because of his knowledge of the town and the stories of Emily, he must have realized that not only was she vulnerable and eccentric but that because the townspeople found her unapproachable she was able to control whatever occurred within her own house. Homer took advantage of her loneliness and became overly confident of her tolerance of him and his actions. His confidence combined with her knowledge that he had no intention of marrying her was one of the main reasons he was responsible for his own fate. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Who was the greatest hero between Achilles and Hector in Homer's The Iliad? When posing this question, one must also consider the various definitions of the word hero. A hero can be of the heart or of the mind, but most likely he is one of the body. A true hero possesses all three of these entities, yet this type of hero is rare, indeed. Neither Achilles nor Hector was a hero of this caliber, yet they both displayed significant heroism while in battle. The writer compares the two warriors to determine which one was the greater hero.
