Discussion Question #1 - A Rose for Emily

What do you think the "long strand of iron-gray hair"(on page 397) that was left on the pillow beside the corpse of Homer Barron symbolize?

I believe the "long strand of iron-gray hair" symbolize that Emily was trying to hold on to something that was already gone. I assumed in the reading that she was still sleeping next to a decaying body of her lover.
