A rose for emily

i think towns people are responsible for the death of homer barron. townspeople were aware of emily bought a arsenic but they did not care because they thought she would suicide. Also the narrator used both present and the past times in the story. With the complicated cronological changes it confuses the reader and helps story to develop itself. at the end the narrator also tries to distract the attention of the reader by a shocking end( the found of the iron gray hair)
