A Rose For Emily

As I try to reason who I believe is the narrator, I come to the conclusion that it is a towns person that lives in the town that Emily does. It never says if it a male or female, but whoever it is, doesn't look down upon Emily. They are respectful to who she is. Emily buys arsenic not to commit suicide but to murder Homer. It mentions that she wants to be married to him but he has not proposed to her yet. I think therefore she wanted to kill him so she could be with him the rest of her life. She ends up killing him and then lying next to him every night for the remainder of her life. Once again, it makes me wonder that Emily loves the dead.
