It appears from the beginning that Emily's father is very controlling. However, it can be looked at as if he loves her so much that he truly believes that no one is good enough for his daughter. This fatherly love affects her life and completely changes who she becomes because he dies, leaving her nothing, and without any man to take care of her. His love for her clouded his judgement and she was left alone to suffer (and go crazy).
Homer, on the other hand, should have seen the signs. But she drew him in, and he fell for her. When he was out of town, she purchased the arsenic and he could do nothing about it. She had it planned in her mind that he'd never leave her. He never should have told her that. He could have easily just used her and left. Instead, love clouded his vision as well, and he wasn't able to see her insanity.
