A Rose for EmilyWilliam Faulkner【原文解读】过去几年一直在讲《英美短篇小说解读与译赏》（自编讲义），每讲一次，对福克纳的这篇小说都有一种新的认识，都有一种翻译的冲动，一旦动笔翻译，便在标题上卡壳了。
但正式决定要试着翻译这篇小说而收集相关评论时，才发现此篇小说早已有人译为《献给爱米丽的玫瑰》。
许多评论家都对此篇小说的主题给出了不同的看法，并找出了各种理由一定要“献给”爱米丽玫瑰。
其最终原因，他们的解读因为根据汉语译文标题《献给爱米丽的玫瑰》。
为什么一定要“献给”爱米丽的玫瑰”呢？爱米丽因为什么而值得“献给”玫瑰呢？这是专家们喜闻乐道、争论不断的话题。
尽管如此，仍然禁不住原文小说的诱惑，也禁不住想亲自动手翻译的冲动。
专家们对小说容的分析给自己的翻译提供不少的理解上的帮助；他们的论争也同时加深了自己对原文的理解。
此篇小说翻译理解时，参阅过肖明翰博士对此篇小说的研究论文（肖明翰，再谈《献给爱米丽的玫瑰》———答新民先生，师大学学报社会科学版2000年1月）。
他认为，此篇小说试图说明杰弗逊镇上的人及其以清教思想为核心的旧传统是造成爱米丽的悲剧的真正原因。
【翻译津要】尽管原文标题有寓意，但寓意如何，因人而已。
不同的人往往会有不同的理解。
这就是为什么不同的学者对这篇小说有不同的解读。
毕竟理解是一种阐释过程，但凡阐释必有主观性，翻译也是一种阐释，也必有译者的主观性。
从翻译的角度和读者的角度，个人感觉标题译为“悲情玫瑰”更好，因为全文中唯一出现rose(玫瑰)的地方是小说的第五部分中(171)A thin, acrid pall as of the tomb seemed to lie everywhere upon this room decked and furnished as for a bridal: upon the valance curtains of faded rose color, upon the rose-shaded lights, upon the dressing table, upon the delicate array of crystal and the man’s toilet things backed with tarnished silver, silver so tarnished that the monogram was obscured.其中rose一共出现过两次：rose color和rose-shaded lights。

关键词：威廉·福克纳；献给爱米丽的玫瑰；南方小说一、威廉·福克纳的南方情结威廉·福克纳(William Faulkner，1897-1962)是美国文学史上久负盛名的作家之一，生于密西西比州一个在内战中失去财富和地位的没落的南方种植园家庭。
福克纳的大多数作品都以美国南方为背景，强调南方主题和南方意识。
在他19部长篇小说和75篇短篇小说中，绝大多数小说的故事都发生在他虚构的美国的约克纳帕塔法县(Yoknapatawpha county）和杰弗生镇。
这些作品所展示的生活画卷和人物形象构成了福克纳笔下的“约克纳帕塔法世系”。
“约克纳帕塔法世系”是以该县家族的兴衰、变迁为主题，故事所跨越的时间上起自印地安人与早期殖民者交往的岁月，止于第二次世界大战后，长约二百年。
他的世系小说依南方家系人物的生活而展开，以南方浓郁的泥土气息伴随着因工业文明而带来的焦虑、惶惑、无奈，把一百多年来即从1800年到第二次世界大战之后社会发展过程中，南方人所独有的情感和心态通过独特的艺术方式展示出来，可谓一部“南方生活的史诗”。
在这部史诗的字里行间，留下了作家的血与泪之痕：割不断爱恋南方古老精神的一片深情，可又抵御不了现代文明进程的必然性。
正如福克纳所说：“我爱南方，也憎恨它。
这里有些东西我本不喜欢。
但是我生在这里，这是我的家。
因此，我愿意继续维护它，即便是怀着憎恨。
”这种矛盾恰好构成了福克纳情感意识及其小说世界的无穷魅力。
结果，约克纳帕塔法县成了旧南方的象征，而福克纳也借此成功地表现了整个南方社会的历史和意识。
A Rose For Emily(献给艾米丽的玫瑰花)
试析《纪念爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》中的时间艺术与死亡主题摘要美国杰出的现代小说大家威廉·福克纳的短篇小说《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》运用了时序颠倒与循环叙事的独特艺术手法，从而展示了现代主义小说中关于时间艺术的理解和运用。
而福克纳更是将自己的时间观贯彻到了整篇小说的创作中，并在死亡主题这一特殊形式的的叙述中得到了深刻的体现。
关键词《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》时间死亡威廉·福克纳最负盛名的短篇小说《纪念爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》讲述了一位没落的南方贵族小姐亲手杀死自己的爱人，然后陪伴其尸身并在古屋中隐居四十之久的具有哥特式神秘、恐怖意味的故事。
南方淑女爱米丽小姐是旧贵族的象征，对于她的纪念是作为南方作家的福克纳对于逝去的旧南方的无限缅怀之情。
但另一方面，爱米丽的最终死亡也喻示了一座纪念碑的倒下，表明了作者对于最终湮没的南方社会既眷念热爱又批判其沉沦罪恶的矛盾心态。
时间，在传统现实主义小说的叙事中往往呈线性发展，“故事和情节小说遵循着时间的线形关系、事件的连锁关系体现为一种因果关系和时间上的线性顺序，任何外部事件都依赖于这样一种时间的线性关系”。
①在《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》这篇小说文本当中，我们很容易发现它的最大艺术特色就是时序的颠倒与循环叙事。
小说以爱米丽之死为叙述的起点，站在杰斐逊镇居民的视角上进行叙事，作者以倒叙的手法描述了爱米丽生前的几个主要事件。
在颠倒的时间顺序中，首先叙述的是爱米丽拒绝纳税事件，然后是富有神秘气息的尸臭事件，接着作者却把时间往过去推进，则出现了父亲之死，再接下来的与北方工头荷默恋爱及他与爱米丽发生冲突后爱米丽去购买砒霜，紧接下来荷默的消失与爱米丽小姐长达四十年的隐居生活之谜在小说的最后一部分终于被揭开。
古屋中楼上的房间中竟然躺着死去了四十年的荷默，“那尸身躺在那里，显出一度是拥抱的姿势，但那比爱情更能持久，那战胜了爱情的煎熬的永恒的长眠已经使他驯服了。
”②更让人心惊的是尸身旁边的枕头上遗留了爱米丽小姐的“一绺长长的铁灰色头发”。

A_rose_for_Emily赏析
Ⅰ、Introduction“A Rose for Emily”is a classic story representing Faulkner’s favorite subject, theme and style、The story is set in the town of Jefferson in his imaginary Yoknapatawpha County, the “mythical kingdom”、The story begins with a funeral of the eponymous Miss Emily、It does not follow a particular order of chronological time、The narration flows backwards or forwards in a line of reality, revealing significant details of Emily’s life and the murder of the Homer Barron by Emily, which are suspended till the end of the story、The narrative is also divided into five parts, allowing for flexible shifts in time and displays of Emily’s image at various stages of her life、Through the story about Emily, the author tries to pinpoint an unavoidable fate of the aristocracy and various changes in the South America after the Civil War、In this story, Emily Grierson, the main character, is a victim、Dominated by her father and his rigid ideas of social status, she has been prevented from marrying during her lifetime、One year after her father’s death, she falls in love with a northerner、When she finds that her lover is not going to get married with her, she poisons him so that she can keep him with her forever、Though the plot of the story is not complicated, yet it can be considered as a minor program of his works、In it are examples of Faulkner’s artistic preoccupations and techniques: the exploration of psychological reality, the social structure and mores of a southern community, the nature of time, and the relation of the past to the present、This paper will approach the story from the following aspects: analysis of Emily’s character, the root causes of her characters and her destiny、Ⅱ、Analysis of Emily’s charactersEmily is the main character, the protagonist of the story、In this story, the author mainly focuses and reveals the main characte r—Emily、In order to analyze Emily’s character, some question s have at first to be answered: What type is this story or what kind of theme this story plans to reveal? When answering these questions, itbecomes much easier to analyze her character、Miss Emily is kind of quiet and perverse, proud and aloof, haughty, brave and tough, a representative of traditional convention and so forth、The followings are going to expatiate on them、2、1Miss Emily’s haughty characterAt the very first, Emily is easy to be regarded as a haughty woman、In the story, the writer not only reveals the abnormal phenomenon of Emily’s grotesque character and her ill-sexed psychology, but also lively portrays her as a strong figure of haughtiness、Miss Emily Grierson is the socialite of her town、Naturally with this status there is a certain reputation she has to withhold、She not only represented her family name but, in a sense the people of her town、Because she was such a dominant figure the townspeople had put her on a pedestal and were very attentive to her actions、During the time in which her father was alive Emily was seen as a figure to be admired but never touched、Many wooers she had but according to her father’s standard, none were suitable enough、2、2 Miss Emily’s isolated and eccentric characterBesides, Miss Emily is isolated and eccentric、From the whole story, there is no doubt that she was an isolated one from the beginning of the story to the surprising end、All her life is the town people’s topic after meals、They regard her as a monster、And because of her family, in particular, her father, she nearly get separated from her neighbors, which adds more pressure to her personal affairs to fall in love with the Yankee, Homer Barron, which, at last, creates the tragedy、On the other hand, she is eccentric at thesame time、When the men from the government want to tax her after her father’s death, but they are refused by Emily、The reason is quite simple, that is, when her father is alive, in Jefferson, they need not to pay taxes、She just tells the government that she has no taxes in Jefferson、What she said was the matter several years ago、And there was once a man called Colonel Sartoris explained it to her about her tax-free privilege、She does not respect the truth, that is, her so-called Colonel died ten years ago and new policy comes into practice、The narrator arranges the specific detail on her behavior of buying Arsenic、The druggist can not imagine her purpose in buying the poison and just thinks that she might use it for rat and such things、Miss Emily just stares at him, her head tilts back in order to look him eye for eye, until he looks away and goes and gets the arsenic and wraps it up for her、How strange and eccentric she is、She does not allow anyone to ask about her matter, even though it is a dangerous affair which is forbidden by law、2、3 Miss Emily’s necrophiliaMiss Emily is a necrophilia, too、Greatly surprised at the sight of the last paragraph of Faulkner’s short-story “A Rose for Emily”, the town people find that Miss Emily is not only a murderer, but also sleeps with Homer Barron after she kills him、Then it is noticed that in the second pillow is the indentation of a head、One of the townspeople lifts something from it, and leans forward, finding the faint and invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, and a long strand of iron-gray hair、Horribly, she kills her lover and sleeps next to him for a long time until being found out、As for the whole passage, the narrator refuses to dismiss Emily as simply mad or to treat her life as merely a grotesque, sensational horror story、Instead, his narrative method brought us into her life before we hastily rejectedher, and doing so offered us a complex imaginative treatment of fiercedetermination and strength coupled with illusions and shocking eccentricities、4 2、4 Miss Emily’s braveness and toughnessShe is brave and tough as well、As a woman, Emily is normal、She just tries her best to pursue her happiness、In this story, the most attractive part for a great number of people is Emily’s brave pursuit of love、Only after her father’s death, she begins to have the right to love、“In the summer after her father’s death, she has her hair cut short and looks like a little girl、Soon she falls in love with Homer, who is a Yankee, a northerner and a day labor as well、” She holds her head high in her dignity as she is the last Grierson of her family though the townspeople think she has fallen because she is with a man who is different from her、However, Emily’s love affair is not affected by the townspeople and her two female cousins’ interference、What’s more,Ⅲ、Intrinsic and extrinsic Reasons3、1 Intrinsic reasons3.1.1 FamilyIt is her family, especially her father that influences her so much、Emily, the heroine in the story, is a victim、Dominated by her father and his rigid ideas of social status, she has been prevented from marrying during his life time and therefore afterhis death, she is left alone and penniless、Her dependence on her father continues even after he dies; she refuses to bury him and keep his portrait in a prominent place in her living room、Emily not only clings to her father’s memory, she also begins to assume his domineering traits、She does not accept the passage of time and changes or the inevitable loss that accompanies it、It is not just pathetic attempts to cling to the past, it develops into obsession and finally, homicidal mania、Rather than lose Homer as she lost her father, she kills him in order to keep him、She lives many years as a recluse、Abnormal characters are easy to form when under such strong pressure、It is Emily’s family that ruins her life and then Homer’s、3.1.2 PhysiologyEmily’s typical characters are cause by another important reason, namely, the physiological one、From Freud Sigmund’s narration, there are three conceptions which are connected to the analysis needed to understand, that is, Id, Ego, and Super-ego、They are the three parts of the fictive “psychic apparatus” defined in Freud’s so-called structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described、According to this model, the uncoordinated instinctual trends are the “id”; the organized realistic part of the psyche is the “ego”, and the critical and moralizing function the “super-ego”、The Id comprises the unorganized part of the personality structure that contains the basic drives、The Id is unconscious by definition、6Id is human’s first reaction when human physiological needs happen, which is also an unorganized phenomenon、Miss Emily just tries her best to chase her happiness as other normal women do、From this angle, Miss Emily has the right to fall in love with Homer and to have their own family、What she has done is within the common practice、However, a lot of elements result in the tragic sequel、It is she that can not grasp the physiological element and causes her unhappy or even miserable destiny、3.1.3 Pathology and psychologyThere is another important intrinsic reason, that is pathological and psychological one、From her behavior to her father Mr、Drieson, she is complete Elctra Comlex(恋父情结)、She lived with her father when Mr、Grieson was alive, without communicating with others、Mr、Grieson controlled her whole life completely, which is the root that causes Miss Emily’s tragedy and Homer’s、What is more, Emily’s father drove away all the young men who were going to chase his daughter for the reason that he just wanted to hold Emily for himself、In Emily’s sub-consciousness, her father is her lover、It is this kind of abnormal psychology that influences the formation of Emily’s abnormal characters、In Emily’s eyesight, losing her father amounts to losing her lover、And that means she will be alone from that time on、Therefore, she refuses to bury her father even though he has been dead for several days、And at last she kills her own lover just in order to keep him with her、3、2 Extrinsic reasonsWhen referred to intrinsic reasons, it is easy to think of extrinsic reasons causing Miss Emily’s characters and her destiny、What is more, the extrinsic reasons play a crucial role on her which worth of researching here、3.2.1 Cultural traditionCultural tradition makes great impact on Emily’s characters and the tragedy、Fa ulkner was aware of the Southerners’ association with the South tradition,not only physical,but spiritual as well; so he took pains to picture a group of Southerners who desperately submitted to the old way of life.But as an artist of the twentieth century,he observed the gradual changes of the South: the old veterans were dying of, and the old loyalties were adjusted to conform to new conditions.In “A Rose for Emily”,Faulkner described the conflicts between the old tradition and the new order, and the doomed defeat of the old tradition.Emily lived in her big and squarish frame house, which Grierson family thought the great choice、But her house was on its way to “coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps、And the once most select street which was filled with houses decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily l ightsome style of the seveties” was then encroached and obliterated by garages and cotton gins、Faulkner admired somewhat the merits of the South tradition—the compassion and humanity men like Colonel Sartoris and his peer s–inherited forced them to tell a kind lie to Emily so as to look after the single lady without insulting her dignity.But only a man of Colonel Sartoris’ generation and thought could have invented it、The moral values of the South tradition were lost.The new generation of public officials may be more efficient and businessman-like、They were more practical; the next generation,with its more modern ideas,produced some little dissatisfaction with the hereditary obligation upon the town、but the old generation like Judge Stevens totally objected to the idea for it was shameful to let others know that such noble lady had smell on her faces、The conflicts between the old generation and the new one indicated the decline of the Southern tradition.Faulkner believed that it was the moral values—courage,honor,pride,compassion,liberty and justice that produced the glorious Southern kingdom,but the new generation lost the virtues,thus losing its faith and force.The loss of the South tradition and the appearance of the North industrialization caused not only the devastation of the Southern plantation system, but also the macabre disillusionment to the Southern descendants、They were reared in the ways of the traditional South, vividly taught the beliefs and the loyalties of the tradition as the South knew them.Whereas,they saw that world changing into another kind and they were themselves of that new changed world,yet apart from it.Faulkner revealed with intensity the rootless of the Southern descendants.They witnessed that the Northern industrialization penetrated the South, but their inherited Southernaristocracy forbade their acceptance of the new order of life.They stubbornly objected to the invasion of the northern way of life, but in vain.So the Southern descendants had to suffer from the loneliness and bitterness of separating from the new world.The disillusionment of the Southerners was wel1 revealed in the portrayal of Emily, which is a symbol that Emily’s characters form ed and caused her tragic end、For Miss Emily, she holds a firm conception that the Southern tradition or her family system is some sort of superiority、Therefore, when another new system－the Northern one comes into being, she just can not accept the truth and does some deeds to resist it and protect her “perfect one”、It is such behaviors and traditions that makes her abnormal characters、3.2.2 Social elementAnother extremely crucial factor for Emily’s characters to form is the social element、Here it mainly refers to the environment—the Jefferson community around her、For the townspeople, Grieson family never choose a northerner, a day labor、They think even though Emily is sad, she can not forget that she is a noble、They seem to be Emily’s new father after her father died、They try to control Emily on her love affair、When Emily and Homer appear together, they talk about them with scornful expression、However, the community’s opposition does not influence Emily’s persistent love with Homer、If the townspeople give up at this moment, the result of Emily may be much better、But, instead the opposition becomes further intensified、A priest gets in and fails、Then come Emily’s two far-distance cousins、From the writer’s viewpoint in the story, Miss Emily has been much better when she fall love in Homer、But the social environment pushes her to the edge of an abnormal woman again and again、Ⅳ、DestinyShe refused to release her father’s body for burial,and kept his portrait in a prominent place in her living room: She refused to cooperate with modernization inthe tax-paying service, answering the tax notice “on paper of an archaic shape, in a thin, flowing calligraphy in faded ink…”Her clinging to the past developed into such obsession and homicidal mania that she killed Homer Barron when she knew he would not marry her、So she killed him and kept the body, From Emily’s tragic end and Faulkner’s other characters, we can see the portentous disillusionment of the Southern descendants in the transitional period.“They isolated themselves from the actual society, so what they could do was only to miss the past desperately until at last they died with deep agony、”9Consequently, Miss Emily suffered great pressure from the society, her family tradition, her relatives and community’s nonchalance etc、on her personal affair which finally caused her to die、Nonetheless, nobody paid much attention to whether she was alive or dead、Poor Emily is a character of misery、She is the sacrificial lamb of her time、Ⅴ、ConclusionEmily was respected as a monument by townspeople、Emily’s resistance is heroic、Her tragic flaw is the conventional pride: she undertook to regulate the natural time- universe、She acted as though death did not exist, as though she could retain her unfaithful love by poisoning her lover and holding his physical body in a world which had all of the appearances of reality except that most necessary of all things- life、Because Homer died, he couldn’t marry Miss Emily, then the monument continued to exist in the south people、In fact, the two generations ignored the real Emily, and create and maintain the myth of Emily as an example of southern womanhood from a last age、The writer uses the comic technique to disclose the conflict between south and north、This conflict cannot easily be solved at that time、Instead, it does great harm to Emily doomed destiny、In the above passage, Miss Emily’s characters are analyzed from different dimensions、At first, her behavior shows that she is a haughty, isolated and eccentric, necrophilia but brave and tough woman、Her characters are complex and to someextent ambivalent、From the intrinsic and extrinsic reasons above, it is known that Emily tragic destiny is doomed to happen at last、An analysis of "A Rose for Emily"William Faulkner regarded the past as a repository of great images of human effort and integrity, but also as the source of a dynamic evil、He was aware of the romantic pull of the past and realized that submission to this romance of the past was a form of death (Warren, 269)、In "A Rose forEmily", Faulkner contrasted the past with the present era、The past was represented in Emily herself, in Colonel Sartoris, in the old Negro servant, and in the Board of Alderman who accepted the Colonel's attitude toward Emily and rescinded her taxes、The present was expressed chiefly through the words of the unnamed narrator、The new Board of Aldermen, Homer Barron (the representative of Yankee attitudes toward the Griersons and thus toward the entire South), and in what is called "the next generation with its more modern ideas" all represented the present time period、Miss Emily was referred to as a"fallen monument" in the story、She was a "monument" of Southern gentility, an ideal of past values but fallen because she had shown herself susceptible to death (and decay)、The description of her house "lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps--an eyesore among eyesores" represented a juxtaposition of the past and present and was an emblematic presentation of Emily herself (Norton Anthology, 2044)、The house smells of dust and disuse and has a closed, dank smell、A description of Emily in the following paragraph discloses her similarity to the house、"She looked bloated like a body long submerged in motionless water, and of that palled hue"、But she had not always had that appearance、In the picture of a young Emily with her father, she was frail and apparently hungering to participate in the life of the era、After her father's death, she looked like a girl "with a vague resemblance to thoseangels in colored church windows--sort of tragic and serene"、This suggests that she had already begun her entrance into the nether-world、By the time the representatives of the new, progressive Board of Aldermen waited on her concerning her delinquent taxes, she had already completely retreated to her world of the past、She declared that she had no taxes in Jefferson, basing her belief on a verbal agreement made with Colonel Sartoris, who had been dead for ten years、Just as Emily refused to acknowledge the death of her father, she now refused to recognize the death of Colonel Sartoris、He had given his word and according to the traditional view, his word knew no death、It is the past pitted against the present--the past with its social decorum, the present with everything set down in "the books、"We can further see this distinction in the attitude of Judge Stevens, who was over eighty years old, and the young man (a member of the rising generation) who came to the judge regarding the smell at Emily's house、For the young man, it was easy to point out the health regulations that were on the books、But for the judge dealing with the situation it was not sosimple、"Dammit, sir、、、will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?" (Norton Anthology, 2045)、If Homer had triumphed in seducing Emily and deserting her, Emily would have become susceptible to the town's pity, therefore becoming human、Emily's world, however, was already in the past、When she was threatened with desertion and disgrace, she not only took refuge in that world but also took Homer with her in the only manner possible--death、Miss Emily's position in regard to the specific problem of time was suggested in the scene where the old soldiers appear at her funeral、There are two perspectives of time held by the characters、The first perspective(the world of the present) views time as a "mechanical progression" in which the past is a "diminishing road" (Norton Anthology, 2049)、The second perspective (the world of tradition and the past) views the past as "a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottleneck of the most recent decade of years" (Norton Anthology, 2049)、The first perspective was that of Homer and the moderngeneration、The second was that of the older members of the Board ofAldermen and of the confederate soldiers、Emily held the second view as well, except that for her there was no bottleneck dividing her from the meadow of the past、Emily's room above the stairs was that timeless meadow、In it, the living Emily and the dead Homer remained together as though not even death could separate them、In the simplest sense, the story says that death conquers all、But what is death? On one level, death is the past, tradition, whatever is opposite of the present (Hoffman, 265)、In the setting of this story, it is the past of the South in which the retrospective survivors of the Civil War deny changing the customs and the passage of time、Homer Barron, the Yankee, lived in the present, ready to take his pleasure and depart, apparently unwilling to consider the possibility of defeat neither by tradition (the Griersons) nor by time itself (death)、In a sense, Emily conquered time, but only briefly and by retreating into her "rose-tinted" world of the past、This was a world in which death was denied at the sametime that it was shown to have existed、Such retreat, the story implies, is hopeless since everyone, even Emily, was finally subject to death and to the invasion of his or her world by the clamorous and curious inhabitants of the world of the present、"When Miss Emily died, [the] whole town went toher funeral、、、the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of herhouse, which no one save an old manservant、、、had seen in at least ten years" (Norton Anthology, 2044)、艾米丽小姐大多数时候隐藏在情节里。
福克纳小说献给艾米丽的玫瑰a rose for emily赏析
福克纳小说献给艾米丽的玫瑰a rose for emily赏析《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》是菲利普·威廉斯·福克纳写于1930年作品中的一篇短篇小说，融合了悲剧、哀思、爱情和时代话题，深受读者喜爱。
小说说述了南方小镇斯威普霍尔特一位名叫艾米丽的老小姐的故事：艾米丽的青春期起先幸福美满，但她的母亲和父亲过早逝世，之后社会环境也更加糟糕，使她的全部世界被封锁，甚至连其朝思暮想都无法触及。
更糟糕的是，艾米丽还不得不忍受一个深恶痛绝的绝密，但最终，在小镇居民们的渗透下，关于艾米丽的秘密也慢慢浮出了水面，小说结束的时候，艾米丽究竟是用了无法用言语表达的情感支付了代价，还是以某种求死的友情洒脱的到底成未可知。
《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》用一个苦难的少女艾米丽的故事，对英雄主义和爱情的一次再次探讨，让我们进入艾米丽无法跨越的牢笼，更是让我们理解她不能承受的“献给艾米丽的玫瑰”，也看到了艾米丽赴死坚持到最后，赢得自由的英勇牺牲，而在最后，艾米丽的秘密，却成为了艾米丽永远的伙伴，也深深融入了每个人的心里。
小说中艾米丽的这一段经历，展现了作家给与人生深思的状态，他试图突出艾米丽曾一度坚强与孤独的宏大仪式，还有她曾以愤怒与悲伤来抗争有偏见的社会外在文化。
他进一步指出，尽管人们费尽心机介入艾米丽的世界，但最后，艾米丽仍然站立在某个难以表达的世界中，就像一朵玫瑰一样，在经历风雨的洗礼后，艾米丽的骄傲与挚爱依然一直伴随着她的一生，永不凋零。
艾米丽的人物形象，启发读者直至今天仍在反思，却仍旧无法确定小说里实际上发生了什么，比如，艾米丽是怎样承受了这一切的折磨？最后，她到底做出了什么选择？艾米丽强颜欢笑以维持下去，也让我们意识到了活着的每一刻的珍贵，也让人明白到，在一个被遗忘的世界里，人总是不得不自强，继续活下去，最终，她站在乐观与悲哀的路口，把守着一份绝密的爱情，这份爱情，给了她勇气，让她走到终点。
