CLARIFICATION!!!!

The last paragraph seemed to sum up for me who Miss Emily really was all these years. We read about her actions through the scrutinizing eyes of the public where everybody's business needed to be public. So at the end when we see the dead body untouched after all these years. I realized that Emily had either lost her mind or was a deep romantic. She could have lost her mind because she was keeping a dead man's body in her house and that is what the neighbor's had been smelling in the beginning of the story. Or she is a deep romantic because she loved Homer Barron and wanted him to stay with her also till the day she died...literally. But i also wondered that the poison she bought was meant for Homer Barron and that Miss Emily killed him and in her own twisted way that made him stay with her forever and she would lay by him to be close to her love.
