How does William Faulkner reveal his personal struggles in life through Miss Emily's isolation and loneliness in "A Rose for Emily"?I have been...

To be honest, Hawthorne more than Faulkner was renowned
for his struggles with isolation and loneliness in the world. Therefore, I don't
necessarily think we can establish a link between Faulkner's personal struggles and the
struggles he gives Miss Emily. You are right identifying that Miss Emily is isolated and
cast adrift from the world that she is a part, but Faulker does this to indicate that
she is a relic of another age that has passed away--she is a living anachronism,
indicated by his description of her as a floating corpse, bloated in the sea. It is
through her life that Faulkner charts the passing of traditional values of the Old
South, such as the chivalry expressed by Colonel Sartoris when he lets her off paying
taxes because she is a "lady." You might want to think about the way that the beginning
of the story describes Miss Emily as a "fallen monument" in her death - she is the last
legacy of a time long gone. It is this message that Faulkner is trying to establish
through her isolation, and is a key theme in much of his literature, rather than
expressing his own isolation.
