Faulkner tells the story of “A Rose for Emily” through a scattered, nonsequential plotline. The contrast between these mismatched events and her twisted perception of the world helps develop a better insight of Emily Grierson’s character which augments the theme that time does not always hold an importance in the way that people think and behave; rather, if a person does not make an effort to change his or her ways, reform should not be expected.
