"A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner

The point of this story is to show how tragic a life could be if one feels they are better than everyone else. It seemed like everyone had compassion for her yet Emily didn't seem to care about any of them. When Emily bought the arsenic I thought she was going to murder Homer, but it did not seem like that was the case for Homer up and left too long after she bought it. I guess she could have still used the poison to kill him, but it would have been a much more diabolical plan if that is true. It wasn't that bad of a read, but it is not what I would consider a classic either.
