A Rose for Emily : Why Did Miss Emily Kill Homer?

Hi guys

I need some help regarding my ENG 102 research paper. I am writing an essay on "Why miss emily killed homer" (in contet to William Faulkner's "A rose for Emily"). I want some ideas or your thoughts on the reasons why she killed homer.

I would appritiate even the silliest of thought. Its your opinion after all and it should not be silly !!

thank you

Greetings!

Faulkner's story brings up a lot of intriguing questions. In contemplating why Miss Emily may have killed Homer, one line comes back to me, surrounded by question marks: "Homer himself had remarked-he liked men, and it was known that he drank with the younger men in the Elks' Club-that he was not a marrying man." Just how well did Homer like men? Is it possible that Miss Emily finally ascertained that Homer was "not the marrying kind" because he was homosexual, and was this just too much for her slightly unbalanced mind and ego to take?

That's one theory!

Thanks,
