How did the town influence the crime that is committed in A Rose for Emily?

Using only the sources included and the original material itself, synthesize a literary analysis around “A Rose For Emily” (provided), using and citing at least two of the provided sources (no other sources allowed).

The main topic is to discuss how the town motivates the crime that is committed in the story. Please do not discuss Homer’s sexual preferences.

This is to be a research-driven synthesis, not a personal interpretation.

You do not need to summarize the entire story at any point.

Please avoid first & second person pronouns and include a thesis statement in the end of the introduction.

I have included an example if it’s helpful.
