SUMMARY
EXPOSITION:

When Miss Emily’s father had died, she

refused to acknowledge the death for four
days before the townspeople came and
forcefully took his body away to bury it.

The townspeople took away her only

comfort, thus driving her into a deep feeling of
isolation and solitude.
Inciting Event:

After the death of Miss Emily’s father, a

construction company came to pave the
sidewalks.

In the construction company was a man

named Homer Barron, whom Miss Emily fell in
love with.
Rising Action:

Homer and Miss Emily begin “ dating”. The

townspeople do not approve of the
relationship because she is wealthy, while
Homer is a day laborer. They found out that
Homer was not going to marry Miss Emily.
The townspeople called her cousins, so the
cousins can convince her to stop seeing
Homer.
Climax:

When Miss Emily goes to the drug store

and requests to buy poison, in particular
saying that it’s “for rats”.
Falling Action:

Homer was not seen around town

anymore, everyone assuming that he left.

And Miss Emily did not come out of her

house anymore, due to Homer’s
disappearance.
Falling Action:

A few days later, a horrible stench

developed from Emily’s house. After her
actions of ignoring the smell, the aldermen
came and secretly sprinkled lime over her
lawn to get rid of the smell.
Falling Action:

While doing this, the alderman saw her

from the window and noticed that she was
growing and her hair started turning gray.
Resolution:

Miss Emily has died. The whole town

went to the funeral, mainly to see what the
inside of the house looked like.
Resolution:

The townspeople broke down the door

that hadn't been opened for forty years. They
discover a dead Homer on a bed. There is a
second pillow next to Homer with an indention
of a head and a gray hair.
