1. Introduction
For many years after the Civil War, the Southerners suffered profoundly from defeat and shame. In order to ease themselves, the Southerners turned to the splendid past. However, Faulkner and the intellectuals were different. Faulkner exposed and criticized profoundly the problems, such as slavery and patriarchal society. In the Southern history and present Yoknapatawpha novels depicted a vivid history scroll of southern American society and A Rose for Emily is one of them.
Due to its acute description, ingenious structure and its special Faulkner’s style, this story has been studied from various perspectives: symbolism, stylistics, patriarchal society and feminism, etc. The cause of Emily’s tragedy has also been widely researched. Many researchers attributed her tragedy to her eccentric and arrogant personality (黄桂平, 2007; Li, 2010; 谢秀娟, 2015). However, the social problems that externally generate Emily’s tragedy remain to be further investigated from the observation of people’s behavior.
It has been suggested that Emily’s father in whose mind old moral values are deep-rooted has a huge and negative impact on the cultivation of her personality (Lin, 2010; Zhu, 2011). Many researchers also point out that Mr. Grierson, with rigid ideas of social status, is accustomed to dominating and intimidating others. And there is no doubt that his patriarchal upbringing is the basic element that cultivates the personality of Emily and drives Emily to a tragic end (Zhu, 2011; Wang, 2013; Lin, 2010). Du Fang also points out that Emily was brought up in a distinguished family and isolated from the society by her despotic father which impelled Emily to maintain her aristocratic dignity without the ability to appropriate handle her relationship with others (Du,  2007).In her father’s life time, Emily is deeply interfered by his old moral values, one of the problems in the Southern Society. After his death, Emily still can’t get rid of her tragic fate. Therefore, the patriarchal family can not crucially generate the miserable fate of Emily as she tries to eschew the negative influence of her father. Other problems in the Southern society which succeeds to facilitate Emily’s tragedy remain to be further investigated. 《献给爱米丽的玫瑰花》造成爱米丽悲剧的社会因素:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_55359.html
