Imprisonment in Writing
Imprisonment in writing is a typical device utilized by scholars to speak to an extensive variety of topics. Both, "A Rose for Emily" William Faulkner and "Everyday Use," by Alice Walker inspect social essentialness movement rubs off on conventional esteem and lifestyle. While general population of the world proceeds in advancing new thoughts to a different way of living, there remains to be a group of people more interested in what they are used. As much as the two stories depict The American life, there is evidence of the continuous change in The United States of America and the fight that fight that comes in to retain the norm. Faulkner and Walker bring this out with the utilization of constrained, yet in altogether different ways. Physical seclusion is brought out in "A Rose for Emily" and social seclusion by Walker, to protect change. Repression in the stories is what Walker and Faulkner use to battle, as the main characters cling to past customs despite a quickly evolving world.
A Rose for Emily
In the story "A Rose for Emily" Emily's peculiar character is used to symbolize a change in culture. Change is not something Emily is seen to embrace, and so she decides to withdraw and hold on to whatever is left. This physical constringent and reluctances to change shocks the people of the town to the point of calling her "Poor Emily" and "She will murder herself, it would be the best thing" (Faulkner 4). "A Rose for Emily," tells the perspective of a condemning community trying to oppose the dismissal of industrialization.
Everyday Use
Alice Walker depicts similar battles, using social segregation in "Everyday Use." Even though Mama and Maggie are not physically bound to their way of living, we see something happening that disengages the two from the progressions going on amid that time. Dee, Maggie's sister, appears to be different and accentuates a separation between them and the cutting edge world, as Dee states, "It's extremely another day for us. Be that as it may, from the way you Mama still live you would never know it" (Walker 260). Mama and Maggie are in need of the knowledge and excellence Dee are equipped with, prompting them to be more open to a loaded world. Maggie and Mom, remain confined in their more straightforward life because of their absence of knowledge and Maggie being distracted, which Mama talks about "I had never trained myself" and Maggie follows with, "Similar to great looks and cash, speed cruised her by" (Walker 257). Maggie's scars communicate the past ages of African Americans who battled despite steady preference, isolation, separation, and physical mishandle. Walker accentuates Mama and Maggie's repression with the splendid utilization of one of the principal images used in the story, the stitch. In their confinement, Mama and Maggie see the stitch to be a commonsense thing passed on through the ages by ladies of their family. "It was Grandma Dee and Big Dee who showed her how to stitch herself" (Walker 260). In the story, knitting brings out a kind of life which they lived long ago and what it entailed. In any case, as an embodiment of another development of social liberties and equity, Dee sees the sew to be a reminder of the time of incredible hardship and pain that needs be put in plain view to advance into a better tomorrow. Dee says, "Maggie can't value these bedcovers, She would presumably be insufficiently reverse to put them to regular use" to express her view that the past must be deserted to push ahead (Walker 259). Dissimilar to Faulkner's account of "A Rose for Emily," Walker's "story obviously embraces" conventional esteems and Mamma's "practical point of view," yet it does "not abhor Dee's battle." To speak to the past of the ladies in the family and outlines the dark lady's issue about how to confront what's to come. So while Walker utilizes imprisonment to speak to the aversion to moving far from convention, she does as such in a way that does not ruin either side of the battle with an end goal to discover an adjust.
Change and Traditional Lifestyles
Similarly, as Faulkner utilized Emily's restriction in "A Rose for Emily" to show the social war that reliably takes place when development happens no holds barred with custom, Walker also utilizes social separation in "Everyday Use" to look at this same occurrence. Nonetheless, the two writers picked diverse messages in their approach with Faulkner appearing to compose in favor of development, whereas Walker chose a more adjusted approach. Both authors are seen to express how technology slowly terminates traditional lifestyles. We see this with Emily who opts to draw back to the old ways and hold on to corpses. We also see this with Mama and Maggie who cannot experience new adventures due to their lack of information.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we see that change is not something that is embraced. Both stories bring this out very well. Even though the world keeps on adjusting, there is always a population screaming to remain the same. So change isn't a good thing for everybody.
