    Katherine Anne Porter's The Jilting Of Granny Weatherall

    It is easy to tell that Granny is physically deteriorating, which is believable at her age. But, it is apparent that Granny is also struggling spiritually. Although she says that, “she had her secret comfortable understanding with a few favorite saints who cleared a straight road to God for her,” it is evident that she is still in conflict with the bitterness of being jilted, and the unexpected death of her husband (Porter 81). One can even go as far to say, that the “main concern of her adult life has been to heal her broken heart” (French 63). Her greatest concern was to forget George and to prove to John that she could raise the children and manage the household without him. This caused her to become an “expert in living on track,” even after she felt that she had derailed for a time (French 65). It is important to note, that a woman who is so obsessed with orderliness “has not yet thrown out George's sixty-year-old love letters” (French 76). These letters symbolize that George is fixed into Granny’s mind, and even after all these years of compulsive orderliness she cannot “clean him out” (French…

    The Jilting Of Granny Weatherall: Five Stages Of Death

    At the age of two, Porter’s mother died and her Grandmother raised her, and then she too passed away when Porter was eleven years old. (Chapter 7: Early Twentieth Century - Katherine Anne Porter). This might be the experience that inspired her story. Her grandmother was described as a dominant woman, just like Granny Weatherall. This short story is a story told partly with a narrative technique known as stream consciousness, according to American psychologist William James. This technique allows authors to portray a character’s continuing “stream” of thoughts as they occur, regardless of the stories sequence. This explains why the short story is complicated to read because it is not in chronological order (a Study Guide). Porter spent two years in a sanatorium while she had tuberculosis, (Chapter 7: Early Twentieth Century - Katherine Anne Porter) which is where she could have encountered people who are in and out of consciousness. Also, Porter had 4 failed marriages and numerous love affairs with younger, married or otherwise unsuitable men (Chapter 7: Early Twentieth Century - Katherine Anne Porter) which could explain why Granny is left at the altar by George and feels jilted by the death of John. They both have had relationships that came to an end. During her first marriage, Porter converted to Catholicism, which is another theme in the story, since Granny is a…

    Controlling Idea

    Relationships do not always run smoothly. In passage I, Ezra is having a tough time dealing with his business partner, Mrs. Scarlatti, being sick in the hospital. Ezra had a good connection with Mrs. Scarlatti; he saw her as his second mother. Sadly, Mrs. Scarlatti had a harsh life. Her husband was cruel to her and lost her only son. Ezra was the only person in Mrs. Scarlatti’s life. She called Ezra her boy and her angel. Ezra symbolically communicates his love for Mrs. Scarlatti through her favorite dish, gizzard soup. In life, it is very hard to let someone that you love go. Ezra is trying to accept the fact that Mrs. Scarlatti is not going to be around much longer and must move forward. To more forward, he put the gizzard soup on the restaurant menu and hired waitresses, which Mrs. Scarlatti was strictly against. Also, passage II also depicts that relationships do not run smoothly, since a father is having a hard time realizing that his son is growing up and becoming a man. The father stated, “This summer he’s grown to my own height.” Also, it took place at night in the darkness with no flashlight, which illustrates a mysterious and uncomfortable situation. It is very hard for parents to realize that their children are no longer babies and need their freedom. Many times parents endeavor to hold on to their children and not let them go, but eventually they will need to. So, whether it is seeing a loved one go or seeing your children grow up, you must move on and realize that that is how life…
