It is said that William Faulkner was interested in the problems of the South and the blacks in his works. His great short story, "A Rose for Emily", is also based on the South. Faulkner uses very effective techniques in this story such as cut back, flash back, and the camera eye: "we". These technical qualities reinforce the delicate confusion of time order. On that point, a critic said, "Faulkner makes considerable meshings of time reinforce his conviction that the past and present are intricately interwoven in the human psyche".1) With this opinion, we can see that the confusion of time order in this work is due to the characters` thoughts and actions, and to the conflicts between them.

The story has the primary contrast, the past and the present. Emily, and Colonel Sartoris, a black servant, and the old Board of Alderman are in the side of the past, and narrator, the new Board of Alderman and Homer Barron are described as the present characters.2) In this way, the characters` qualities could be defined, and these present and past characters, who are a little abnormally past-oriented or present-oriented people, with the author`s techniques, cause the conflicts and, as a result, reinforce the confusion of time order in this work.
A considerable example of the conflicts between the past and the present is the one between the new generation and Emily, the older generation.
