In a Rose for Emily, Faulkner saw jumping from one scene to back to another would not make the story flow properly. Faulkner developed a technique to tie those scenes together .For example, in "A Rose for Emily, "the new taxman tries to collect Miss Emily 's taxes but then causes the narrator to use a flashback 30 years earlier when Miss Emily had a bad smell in her house, the word vanquished was used to describe Emily 's actions when it came to dealing with the smell: "So she vanquished them, horse and foot, just as she had vanquished their fathers thirty years before about the smell."(qtd. in
