Question

How does the change or gap between generations complicate this relationship?

Answer 1

Answer:

Emily is considered a fascinating, old celebrity by the community.  She is part of those wealthy families that used to be revered and respected because of the generations of wealth and status that they held. But with the abolition of slavery, and how the middle class gain respect in America, such reverence for those old families slowly disappeared, and Miss Emily was the only thing that was left. I think that the relationship was complicated in the sense that Emily always wanted to keep men with her. a clear example is her father that as he was the only person that was with her, she decided to keep the corpse no matter the consequences. The same occurs with Homer Barron she killed him and keep the corpse to feel she was not alone.
