Nasty Iron-Gray Hair

How is the point of view related to the plot structure?

A Rose for Emily is written in an omniscient point of view. I don't know who exactly is talking, but I know it is someone from the neighborhood, probably someone old who has seen everything happen..
The structure is broken.. there are lots of flashbacks. Whoever is telling the story knows everything from the past to the present, so that's how the point of view is related to the plot structure.

Each section is a different part of time and progresses through her craziness..
First she does no t think she needs to pay taxs.. then she won't admit that her dad is dead for like three days, she buys arsenic "for rats", and finally she died without being seen. And in the fifth section you find out she is a freak..
