Document Summary

He is holding a horse whip she"s mine . She is in virginal white" she"s pure . We don"t know what"s going on between the dad and emily. She has no experience with anyone else other than her father. Maybe some symptoms of stolkholm syndrome towards her father. He may be trying to protect her, but she doesn"t know any better. According to society, if she is scandalous enough to associate herself with a man (homer) from a lower class, she must be impure . Which means she has no honor, value. But she still keeps her head high. She knows the entire town is gossiping about her. But she isn"t affected by her, she continues living her life the way she deems fit. The higher you are, the farther the fall. Fallen monument , angel on a stainglass, idol in a niche . They switch back and forth from being on emily"s side and being against her.
