" Need to relate her views on literature to her story. >>By ohloy68@aol.com My impression of Hazel Motes is that he is an ignorant hick suffering from a terrible childhood. Trailer trash? >>By Ray Of course they are strange stories , since life is strange . Things dont fit in neat little boxes.She was a Catholic who wrote some of the most scathing critiques of religous fanaticism and dogmatic thought that I have read.She fired words like bullets at the conventions and pretensions of humanity and scored bullseyes nearly every round. >>By goddog As said to goddog; O'Conner would be considered the fanatic nowdays. She was a CATHOLIC. She believed in the real, bloody, presence of Christ in the Eucharist. She believed that evil lived and breathed and walked on this earth, not everyone's blood was good ( A Good Man is Hard To Find.) She didn't have that Kindergarten view that every one and every thing is good and relative. Mostly she was scathing and a critic of those that were weak in belief but long on preaching, that didn't understand the mystery of faith. And, she was a critic of new religion - that compared to the Catholic faith were the protestant religions (see A Temple of The Holy Ghost.) I think if people understood her more they would either be offended or become Catholic. >>By pass But as evidenced by 'The violent bear it away' I'd say Ms. O'Conner had a healthy knowledge of the absurdities of born again faith and was not enamored of them. The Catholic view has always been more concerned with salvation than revelation and understands that the love felt by the uncle is as important as the prophethood of young Tarwater. But that she saw evil as winning the battle is not something I care to debate, either from her point of view or my own. Goddog >>By goddog
