According to the study of many scholars both at home and abroad in recent years, the research of “A Rose For Emily” can be divided into the following aspects: Faulkner’s complex of the South; the Gothic and terrifying sense; the character analysis of the black slave; the image of the elder generation; feminist study; the ways of narration; comparative study and so on.

At last she killed her lover Homer and slept with his dead body for the rest of her time. It is a horrible story with twisted love and gothic sense.

This paper tries to analyze the tragic sense of this work, the twisted love in terms to Emily, in order to find out the reasons that account for Emily’s tragedy. This thesis consists of three chapters: the twisted love of the town’s people, of her father, and twisted love between Emily and Homer.

Key words：Emily twisted tragedy causes

福克纳的《献给艾米丽的玫瑰花》是美国优秀的短篇小说之一。它起初是在1930年发表于《论坛》杂志中。在1979年，中国的《外国文艺》发表了这篇文章的译文，中国的学者开始深入地研究福克纳及其小说。根据近年来国内外学者的研究，献给艾米丽的玫瑰花主要在以下几个方面进行研究：福克纳的南方情怀；小说中的哥特式风格；对文章中黑人角色的研究；对老一辈的分析；小说中的女性主义研究；小说的叙事方法；与其他小说主人公的对比研究等等。

《献给艾米丽的玫瑰花》是关于一个南方女性艾米丽的故事。他生活在传统的道德体系中，在摆脱了专制父亲的控制后，她勇敢地追求自己的幸福，但是最后被她的爱人背叛。于是，她杀死了荷默并且在她的余生，与他的尸体同眠共枕。这是一个夹杂有扭曲的爱和哥特式恐怖的故事。

本文试图通过艾米丽身上体现的扭曲的爱，分析小说的悲剧色彩，进而来发掘导致艾米丽悲剧的深层原因。文章通过三个章节:镇上居民对艾米丽扭曲的爱，父亲给艾米丽的扭曲的爱以及艾米丽和荷默之间扭曲的爱，来阐释艾米丽的悲剧原因。

Introduction

William Faulkner, one of the most important American writers in 1920s, is famous for his Yoknapatawpha County, where he set most of his work. He is very good at describing the local conditions and traditions in the wide south of America. Faulkner was introduced to the readers in China in the 1930s. Then came an interruption of his study. In the late 1970s, our scholars began to pay special attention to him. 1990s saw a summit of the study on Faulkner in China.

Among the 129 short stories he wrote, only about 40 have been translated. Compared to the study of his long novels, this field remains a large part of blank. The study of Faulkner in our country began late and some aspects of the research remain to be explored. Thus, it is necessary to have a deep research on his short stories, in much more original ways. It was after he wan the Nobel Prize in 1950 that scholars in our country began to pay special attention to him. In the twenty-first century, a rapid growth has appeared in the study field on Faulkner. Now more and more young scholars begin to study Faulkner, and their methods are more original and novel than before. More papers about Faulkner appear, from the analysis of his technique of writing, the themes of the works, even from the comparative point. Great figures in this field are Li Wenjun, Tao Jie, Liu Daoquan, Gao Fen and Ji Lin.

Then let’s have a brief review of the Faulkner study in America. Before 1970s, the critics in America held different ideas to him, some supporting him and some other people against him, especially between the 1930s and the 1950s. Some critics admit the creation of novel in its forms, but they neglect the history sense and theme of the stories. Some think that it is not proper for Faulkner to focus the hatred to women and the black. These comments are lacking of objection, the attack reaching to the summit. The attempt of Malcolm Cowley and Robert Penn Warren make people regard and reconsider Faulkner fairly. Warren noted that we should pay attention to the theme of the black, the symbolism, the feminism, and so on. American Literature and Southern Literary

Journal are the main position where American scholars study Faulkner. Many works of great significance come into existence, such as Linda Wagner Martin’s “William Faulkner: Six Decades of Criticism (2002)”, Charles Hannon’s “Faulkner and the Discourses of Culture” “William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition and so on. Since 1974, Faulkner’s annual meeting has been held over 30 years, which put forward many valuable research results. In modern times, scholars are trying to explore new thoughts and methods to achieve great significance.

Among the novels Faulkner wrote, the short stories attract reader’s attention by their profound themes and delicate diction. As we know, he created the Yoknapatawpha County, and his famous sh ort story “A Rose for Emily”, published in 1930, is a part of this series. It tells us a story, in which a beautiful young lady, Emily, was born in a southern noble family. With the impact of her father, she missed the best time for a marriage. When her father died, she totally broke down, and refused to admit the reality of losing her beloved relative. She locked herself in the house for years, losing touch with the outside world, until a northern worker, Homer, came here. Though they fell in love in the eyes of the town’s people, Homer seemed to reject her request. Then one day, she poisoned him and slept with the body to her death. In this story, Faulkner represents the decline of the old system, thus it is called the allergy of the south. With the end of the Civil War, the advanced northern civilization impacts the southern traditional one. The period Faulkner lived in is the transitional one in which people love and worry about the south, and at the same time, they can’t avoid accepting the commercial culture of the north. People are in a contradictory situation and experience the turn of the history and the breakdown of the southern cultivating culture.

According to the study of many scholars in recent years, the research of “A Rose For Emily’ can be divided into the following aspects: Faulkner’s complex of the South; the Gothic and terrifying sense; the character analysis of the black slave; the image of the elder generation; feminist study; the ways of narration;
