Abstract: The alienation of Emily in “A Rose for Emily” is due to her weak character which originates from the social context. The necessity of Emilys tragedy is dealt with from the perspective of social context and feminism. Subjectively，Emilys weak character，dependence on economy and mentality are the subjective reasons for her tragedy，while originally，her loss of both her voice and her independent character is the result of mancentered—fathercentered and husbandcentered—society and the result of the coldness and spying mentality from the people around her.

Key words: tragedy, feminism, character, context

摘要： 《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》主人公艾米丽的异化可以从她自身的性格弱点找到解释，这种弱点很大程度上是社会环境使然。从女性主义视角，结合社会语境，全面细致地解读艾米丽异化的必然性。艾米丽的悲剧是其女性性格的软弱、经济和精神双重的依赖性造成的，其根源是男权压制下女性失去话语权和独立人格，包括父权和夫权双重压制，以及人群的冷漠和窥视的看客心理。
