I found "A rose for Emily" to be a little hard to follow, but deeply interesting just the same. It strikes me as sad how Miss Emily obviously did not trust her lover to stay with her thus bringing about the 'necessity' of the arsnec purchase. It was very morbid but a good read none the less.
"Story of an Hour" was very good at touching on the verious stages of a new widow's grief. First is the shocked tears, followed by the painful seclusion stained with memories, and finally the realization of the freedom the death of her husband entails. And last but not least, the shock of seeing someone thought to be dead alive and walking proves too much for a weak heart, and she who rejoyced at her own freedom is actually the one who ends up granting her husband a freedom of his own.
