Answer:

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.
This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.
