In "A Rose for Emily" what is the relationship between the individual, Miss Emily, and the community?

The
community seems to be reluctant to confront her or force her to do anything largely because of
the role her lineage has played in the towns history and her defiant nature. One of the most
telling examples from the story that reflects this is when the town is plagued by an
overwhelming stench coming from s home. Afraid of confronting a lady of her reputation, town
officials decide the best solution is to sneak to her house in the middle of the night to
sprinkle lime. In short, the community tiptoes around her and has to come up with unique ways to
deal with her, as she is obstinate and unwilling to cooperate.
