Mr. White takes responsibility for his actions as he “frantically breathed his third and last wish” (Jacobs 6). The final wish Mr. White made was to put his undead son out of his misery effectively letting him go, rather than clinging onto something undead. Miss Emily slept with Homer Barron after he died as evidenced by the pillowcase having “a long strand of iron-grey hair” (Faulkner 5). She held onto his corpse as a means of having him forever, but she did eventually let go of him through her own death. Death is a natural part of life and although it is often hard to the best thing one can do for ones self is to let go of what is already gone. In a “Rose for Emily” and “The Monkey’s Paw” it is shown that a refusal to let go only results in more pain for those still alive. Miss Emily cast a black mark on her family name through her actions and the Whites had to experience the death of their son. If they had paid heed to what their associates had told them none of this would have ever happened. Nature takes its course of reaping lives and one can only accept
