The town’s people felt sorry for her after the death of her father. They were curious about her way of living and they kept a close watch on Emily. She again suffered a major blow when she got close to a newcomer in town known as Homer Borron who refused to marry her. But she found out her own way to deal with the situation and poisoned him and kept his body with her for thirty years. This was discovered in the end when she died and his body was found in her house. On the other hand Barn Burning is a story revolving around a troubled man known as Abner Snopes. Abner Snopes has always been involved in troubling other people as he is accused from the very beginning of the burning the barn of Mr Harris. Abner Snopes is presumably suffering from sort of problem because of which he cannot compromise with the circumstances of his life. He has two a son named Sartoris who has a role to play in informing the authorities about the actions of his father. After being accused Snopes is asked to leave the city which he does in a timely manner. He joins the farm of Mr de Spain where he is again accused for ruining the rug of the owner. In the latter part of the story Snopes is again seen to be planning a fire on the barn of de Spain. His son Sartoris informs de Spain indirectly about the fire and runs away hearing gun shots in the end from the barn. The story “A Rose for Emily” presents Emily as a very stubborn lady who lives her life in her own way and finds her own ways to deal with situations. She constructs her own ways and methods to lead her life and does not care about the restrictions of society. This can be seen when Emily refuses to pay the taxes and the stubbornness she shows towards the pharmacist when she asks for arsenic without a prescription and does not abide by the rules. She also poisons Homer Barron when he refuses to marry her to keep him with her. This is against the norms of the society but she has her own way of living. Considering the other story of Barn Burning it can be seen that the character of Snopes is almost the same as that of Emily. It is seen that both characters face from some sort of difficulty in coping up with the matters of life. Emily has been left secluded all her life whereas Snopes even with a family cannot keep a control on his temper. Snopes also has a very bad temper as it can be witnessed from the story. He ends up revenging at different instances as shown by William Faulkner. He burns the barn of Mr Harris when he asked to pay a dollar for his hog entering into his premises and he attempts to burn the barn of Mr de Spain too when he accuses him of ruining the rug. This clearly shows that both the characters share certain characteristics which make them revenge. Both the characters are stubborn in their language and this can be witnessed in their actions respectively. It is because of this stubbornness that Emily ends up killing Homer Barron and Snopes hitting Sartoris. Isolation is a theme which can be found in both the stories of William Faulkner. Sartoris is an example of a character in Barn Burning who has been living in isolation from other children of the town. Same is the case with Emily who has been living in isolation because she was never allowed to interact with the people living in the town. Both the characters underwent a change because of the isolation that they were living in.
