Eudora Alice Welty and Southern Fiction

G. Revathi, Dr. G. Vasuki

Abstract


Welty was a productive author who made stories in various kinds. All through her composing are the repetitive subjects of the Catch  of human connections, the significance of spot and the significance of legendary impacts that assist with molding the topic. Welty said that her advantage in the connections among people and their networks originated from her innate capacities as an onlooker. Maybe all that models can be found inside the short stories in A Curtain of Green. "Why I Live at the P.O." cleverly shows the contention among Sister and her quick local area, her family. This specific story utilizes absence of appropriate correspondence to feature the hidden subject of the oddity of human association. Another model is Miss Eckhart of The Golden Apples, who is viewed as an untouchable in her town. Welty shows that this piano educator's autonomous way of life permits her to follow her interests, yet in addition features Miss Eckhart's aching to begin a family and to be seen by the local area as somebody who has a place in Morgana. Her accounts are frequently portrayed by the battle to hold character while keeping local area connections.
