Short Story Blog Question

To what extent do concepts of honor and tradition to influence the action in "A Rose for Emily"?

Honor and tradition influence the action in the story because Emily has a motive to keep her the black man with her. The honor influenced people to look up to her and respect her to a certain level. The tradition influenced her to want to keep the man by her side even if it meant killing him. I guess she felt like she couldn't by lonely at all, or die lonely.
