본문내용

The first section opens with a description of the Grierson house in Jefferson. The narrator mentions that over the years, Miss Emily Grierson`s home has fallen into disrepair and become an eyesore among eyesores. The first sentence of the story sets the tone of how the citizens of Jefferson felt about Emily: When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to the funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant – a combined gardener and cook – had seen in at least ten years.

The narrator notes that on the date of Emily`s father`s death, Colonel Sartoris, then mayor of the town, remitted her taxes. When a new city council takes over, however, they begin to tax her once again. She refuses to pay the taxes and appear before the sheriff, so the city authorities invite themselves into her house. When confronted on her tax evasion, Emily reminds them that she doesn`t have to pay taxes in Jefferson and to speak to Colonel Sartoris, although he had died 10 years earlier.
In section two, the narrator explains that the Griersons had always been a very proud Southern family. Mr. Grierson, Emily`s father, believed that no one was good enough for Emily
