I would argue that, in this story, the function of violence helps build up a discrete trajectory of passion modes and delineate a possible mental transformation of the two main characters. Secondly, the grandmother’s possible transformation process after the car accident and the following violent massacre of the Bailey family will be discussed. Finally, I would take the violent performance in O’Connor’s story as a strategic application, which O’Connor adopts to help reveal the grandmother’s and the Misfit’s concepts constructed loosely upon a layer of culturally set religious and secular beliefs. This culturally embedded reality (which mistakes manners as morals and faith) incurs the very destruction of its groundwork, dilutes the violence resulted from social maladjustment, and furthermore, diminishes the shock behind the downfall of a family. |
