Maslow believed that people have a wide variety of needs that constitute a hierarchy of needs. Each of these needs is different at the time the individual must feel it, and different needs are shown to satisfy different people at different times. This hierarchy of needs is composed of physiological needs, safety needs, belonging needs, esteem needs and self-realization needs. Through this hierarchy, Maslow shows the needs and states that if any of the needs were not met for a prolonged period of time, a fixation on that need could occur (Sammons, 1). There is no question whether or not Emily has met her physiological needs. His safety needs were also met. The last three levels of the hierarchy of needs created by Maslow have certainly not been reached. When considering her needs to belong, Emily is definitely seen as an outcast by the people of the town. She was left alone and cast aside. She may have put herself there, but the truth is, she may have put herself there because she knew that everyone in town talked about her as an outcast. Her esteem needs were never met because she was not put in contact with anyone. She never belonged because she was richer and was raised to hold her head higher
