This story was full or foreshadowing. It talks of her stench, and focuses on her father's death. These two details were the biggest hints for me. Why else would there be a bad stench from a house in which the daughter did not want to give her father's corpse away? The effect of this foreshadowing is that it gives creates a disgusted feeling throughout the story. Each detail that point towards the ending of the story shows how disturbing Emily's actions are. It creates a very eerie tone that would not be present if the foreshadowing did not occur.
The foreshadowing is almost necessary for the piece's full effect. It is what keeps the story flowing. The details that are essential for setting up the ending are what foreshadow that ending. It is almost like the foreshadowing is a byproduct of the story itself.
