Trauma theory has recently become a research hotspot in the academic circle. It not only takes root in the field of psychology but deepens its influence in other humanities and social sciences, such as literature, sociology, history, anthropology, etc., providing a richer theoretical perspective for interdisciplinary research. In this paper, based on the theory of trauma, the author conducted an analysis on A Rose for Emily from Faulkner—who tacitly expressed his reverence to the southern homeland through depictions of characters, with the emphasis on the protagonist who suffered a series of social, family changes exacerbating the trauma symptoms, and presents different degrees of restoration and stray phenomenon, so as to interpret the protagonist’s choice of life and tragic fate.
