Flannery O’Connor: The Use of Humor to Deliver Meaningful and Complex Messages
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page analysis of four of Flannery O’Connor’s short stories (“A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, “Good Country People”, “Revelation”, and “Parker's Back”). The author of this paper contends that O’Connor utilizes humor to deliver deep and meaningful messages to her readers. Most often her message has deep and profound religious meaning but is made more palatable by O’Connor’s quick wit and phenomenal sense of human behavior. Her success rests to a large degree as well on the reader’s familiarity of the situations and circumstances. Without humor and without familiarity O’Connor would be a literary flop. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
