This is all due to the fact that she is a Grierson. Faulkner also states that “none of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” (468) Her father, under the appearance of protection which is actually control, chases away all of her suitors, not because they are not good enough, but so that he may keep her for his own housekeeper.

Murder In The Cathedral
Number of words: 625 - Number of pages: 3.... giving the audience a sense for how far Becket has traveled along the path of repentance. But even as Becket makes his peace with God, the king's revenge is still impending. Eliot has written a beautiful play that alternates between being powerful and preachy. In certain scenes, the characters address the audience directly. These asides, combined with the intimate and cold atmosphere of the Telengtan Hall, draw the audience into the play. The cast performed well, breathing emotion into Eliot's lyrical lines, often in a choral reading style. The music, costumes and makeup definitely have to be .....
