The Jilting Of Granny Weatherall

  • The Jilting Of Granny Weatherall can be looked at from Formalism. The story is from Granny's thoughts before she dies. It is things that she remembers from her life and how she feels about death. I think it was pretty important to do it from her perspective because it would be a completely different story, but it is in 3rd person.
  • Granny is in the hospital because she is slowly dying. She already came to peace with it by paying her last visits to her family before she was there. She is very annoyed by the doctor and her daughter that she is there, so she seems to be very grumpy. She thinks about what she needs to do tomorrow and how her dad lived to be 102, so I think she is in slight denial that she might die. She lays there remember times in her past. She remembers being a hard worker and when she almost married George. She begins to kind of forget things because she thought she saw the doctor 5 mintues ago, but it really was a whole day. She begins to think more about George, and it makes her mad. She believes he is in hell. It causes pain thinking about him. She tries to reach out to god, but then she dies.
