Moral Consciousness in Eudora Alice Welty novels

G. Revathi, Dr. G. Vasuki

Abstract


An unmistakable sort of upright cognizance is writ enormous in the compositions of Eudora Welty. The fourth decade of the twentieth Century was extremely useful for her. Two of her best assortments of short fiction came out during those years – 'A Curtain of Green' (1941) also, 'A Wide Net and Other Stories' (1943) and two books – 'The Burglar Bridegroom' (1942) and 'Delta Wedding' (1946). While surveying the craftsmanship of Eudora Welty, the researcher finds that she was profoundly intrigued by crafted by nineteenth Century Russian author Anton Chekov and British scholars like Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf. Her short stories appeared to be very not the same as regular fiction. They don't have direct plot development. She depicts about the advantages of shielded life in her short fiction. Her short stories can undoubtedly be perceived like a sonnet or a photo. She passes on through story an inclination for the inside existence of individuals she portrays.
