On Feminism in A Rose for Emily(2)

　　Feminists ask for their own freedom and rights by their behavior. Emily was a strong-willed woman in her society, not only because she chose to love, but also she did have her own ideas to live. When she knew that Homer would not marry her and would desert her, the townspeople all said,"She will kill herself."Did Emily really follow people's comments to kill herself? She really went to the druggist to buy some "arsenic". But it was not for her. She chose to live on and to undertake all the pain of losing her love, who was poisoned by herself. To live in that Patriarchy, she needed much courage. As a woman who didn't like to communicate with others and was not accepted by others, we could see how harsh her living surroundings were.However, Emily existed for nearly another forty years although she thought it was meaningless for her to be alive. She used her behavior to struggle for her right to live, even if her life was not the same as she had expected.
　　Although this story was a tragedy in the end, Emily had once tried her best to fight against the reality and attempted to make her fate under her control. She was a good woman who should be understood and complimented. She set a good example to those who lived in that society that women can be themselves. They can have their own rights to love and to live.
