Short Excerpt:
There are several themes that connect "A Rose for Emily" and "Trifles." Specifically, the two main characters, Emily Grierson and Mrs. Wright, respectively demonstrate similar attributes and characteristics. Emily is often the center of attention and gossip throughout her town, as is Mrs. Wright. Both women are similar in that they are portrayed as somewhat desperate housewives going through mental breakdowns that we witness as the audience. Faulkner writes “[...] the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old man-servant- a combined gardner and cook- had seen in at least ten years” (Faulkner, 1970, 1.1).
