Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This is a 5 page paper discussing the writer Flannery O’Connor and the themes and characters in her work. The writer Flannery O’Connor was born in Savannah in 1925 to a Catholic family. She was highly observant of the religious zeal and injustices which existed in the southern states during her lifetime and incorporated these themes into her writing. In her work she used her characters to relate the unrealities which existed in the world and often portrayed those who were superior or religiously zealous as grotesque or harmful. In turn, she portrayed the innocents in her stories as more realistic characters and ones who required the patience and sympathy of the readers. O’Connor lived a relatively short life as she died of lupus at the age of 39 but in that time she wrote thirty-one stories and two novels in addition to her lecturing.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.
