There's no mother or any female living in the house. Miss Emily has no friends, unless her father would choose them. Miss Emily has a childhood with no happiness.

Miss Emily has been living alone since her father's death. During her father's life he has always taken care of household matters. Now that he's gone, all responsibilities belong to Miss Emily. Miss Emily receives a notice of taxes that means nothing to her because she knew her father has lent the town money and for that reason, they pay no taxes. The Board of Aldermen visits Miss Emily to discuss the taxes, but Miss Emily replies "See Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson." (30) T

People in the town, began to remember "how old lady Wyatt, her great-aunt, gone completely crazy at last, believing that the Griersons held themselves a little too high for what they really were.
