摘要
Trauma theory has recently become a research hotspot in the academic circle.It not only takes root in the field of psychology but deepens its influence in other humanities and social sciences,such as literature,sociology,history,anthropology,etc.,providing a richer theoretical perspective for interdisciplinary research.In this paper,based on the theory of trauma,the author conducted an analysis on A Rose for Emily from Faulkner-who tacitly expressed his reverence to the southern homeland through depictions of characters,with the emphasis on the protagonist who suffered a series of social,family changes exacerbating the trauma symptoms,and presents different degrees of restoration and stray phenomenon,so as to interpret the protagonist’s choice of life and tragic fate.
