 A Rose for Emily" the tax notice sent to Emily was her only direct connection with the town. Colonel Sartoris use the tax notice to provide support for her and care for her. The following generation only were able to interact with Miss Emily after she failed to provide her taxes and were forced to visit Miss Emily's house to ask her directly. Without the tax notice none of the new generation would know Emily.

In section 1 Emily is much bigger than people remembered. She used to be skinny and sweet but now she is the complete opposite. The weight signifies that guilt she has carried with herself ever since she killed Homer Baron. The black clothing she was wearing when she was first introduced probably signified her upcoming death and the mysteries she hid inside her home and mind.

Colonel Sartoris

When the Board came to her house because of her unresponsive behavior, they heard her talking about Colonel Sartoris who had been dead for 10 years. This proves that Emily was very antisocial, and assumed that because of her father she had a higher place than everyone in society. Like paying taxes. She had not been connected or even informed of what was going on around her, and ultimately leaves her to die alone.

Her father's death, caused her to be disconnected with others. She didn't have to pay taxes. It also caused her to become anti-social with the people around her.
