In William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," the narrative is
told from the point of view of several members of the town, with perhaps one acting as
voice for them.  And, since different opinions on Emily are submitted at different
times, the narrative chronology is disturbed.  But, this is how memory works:  ideas
come at random times, or when one memory prompts
another.

In fact, memory forms the structure of Faulkner's
story since the story begins with the description of Emily's funeral, which is actually
a flashback since the story ends with the townspeople's discovery of the corpse in her
house after the funeral.  Also, through the foreshadowing of memory, and the isolated,
bizarre episodes such as Emily's refusal to bury her father and the purchase of rat
poison, the author prepares the reader for the grotesque discovery, thereby lending
verisimilitude and a shocking climax to the gothic atmosphere of the
narrative.
