Summary/Abstract: In teaching short story, there are lots of techniques, methods and approaches. One of these methods, especially for the students at the foreign language departments of universities, is literary approaches. Sometimes by abandoning the traditional ways of teaching short story, a trainer may make use of the literary approaches. Analyzing a short story by means of using one or more approaches may not only change the students' points of view, but also may lead them to think in different aspects. Such a study may be different, enjoyable and beneficial, apart from being monotonous, both for the trainer and the students. There are quite a good many literary approaches, and it is not possible to give information all about them in this study; thus, only their names will be mentioned here; and then psychoanalytic approach will be explained since it will be applied to a short story. Finally, William Faulkner's short story "A Rose For Emily" will be analyzed by applying this approach.
