Additionally, Emily's description as a "vision of the
past", and her house as a "monument" of the Old South give the reader a sensation of
nostalgia and loss which added up to her persona of mystery. We only get tidbits of
information about her family, such as the fact that her father was authoritarian and
controlled her life, and that her boyfriend, Homer, was disliked. We also wonder about
that. How come she ended up with Homer? What inner fascination did Emily have with a man
of that class? It is what we know that gives her that air of mystery, but what we do not
know is left to a lot of scary thoughts.
