Creative/Opinion to "A Rose For Emily"

In this short story there were a lot of literary terms like foreshadowing and irony. When the short story started off the towns people discussed of a smell inside Emily's home. They took it to the Board of Alderman to have someone go in and physically take away the horrible smell. When someone from the Board of Alderman said, "It's simple enough... send her word to have the place cleaned up." This I believe foreshadowed the story because she had a dead body living in her home that was why her house smelled so badly. So basically the towns people got rid of the smell but in the end they really did not because they contaminated it by putting lime around the perimeter of her home. It came to the towns people that they should have just looked all throughout the home before they came to contaminate Miss Emily's home.
Another literary term that was used was irony. Emily went to the drugstore to buy something piousness. She claimed she had "rats" in her home. Emily steps up to the counter and said, "I want some poison." Then the druggist says back, "Yes, Miss Emily. What kind? For rats and such, I recom-" She then started staring and says, "I want arsenic... for rats!" What is ironic about this part in the story is that the real reason as to why she was purchasing rat poison was not to use it for rats she did not even have rats in her home. She bought the arsenic to poison Homer Barron her secret lover. Even though she poisoned and killed him in the end she still would always have love for him, until the day she died.
