I felt A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner was a good fit for structuralism because of the discourse and plot structure. I believe Faulkner uses chronological order, distance of the narrator, and perspective to accentuate the structure. I felt that this criticism was easy to find textual evidence to answer and support the questions asked by structuralist theorists. This essay could be expanded upon by questioning how the story relates to culture as a whole. I chose not to focus on that aspect, although it would be compelling and beneficial to have a better understanding of the human experience.
