        <description><![CDATA[In the first paragraph, we only hear from Ellen and the doctor.  The author doesn't really tell us anything, but we can infer a great deal.  This is a story of the feisty 80-year pioneer woman who refuses to die before she tells her jilting lover what she thinks of him.  At the beginning of the story, Ellen Weatherall is in bed and the doctor is standing over her.  She tells him he is too young to be her doctor, and she also says nothing...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hapsy, Lydia, and Jimmy are three of Granny Weatherall's children.  Lydia lives &quot;eighty miles&quot; away, and often drives that distance &quot;for advice when one of the children (jump) the track&quot;.  Jimmy also lives off on his own, but &quot;still drop(s) in and talk(s) things over&quot; now and then.  The evening of Granny's death, Lydia and Jimmy drive over &quot;as fast as (they can)&quot;, and arrive in time to speak with her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The author does not specify a specific geographical place as the setting, but what is clear is that Granny is lying in her bed at home in this story.  Granny is dying, and again, the author does not directly state what her ailment is, but the reader does know that Granny, at &quot;nearly eighty years old&quot;, is quite aged. Although the doctor in attendance keeps offering platitudes about Granny &quot;being up in no time&quot;, and Granny...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The story is written in the third person point of view. &quot;One of the most striking stylistic aspects of ' 'The Jilting of Granny Weatherall'' is its unusual narrative perspective.&quot;&quot;The story is told through stream-of-consciousness. Granny's thoughts are presented in a spontaneous fashion, as if readers had access to her thoughts at the moment each one occurs to her.&quot; ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Granny Weatherall is a bitter old woman (although still likeable in many ways) who is angry about being jilted by the love of her life at the altar before their wedding.  He failed to show up and she was never able to get over this.The concept of waste is a constant in this story.  Granny probably feels that much of her romantic life was a waste because she never got over her fiance jilting her, even though she very much loved her husband...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the beginning of the story, Granny Weatherall seems to be in denial that her &quot;jilting&quot; by a man named George, who abandoned her at the altar sixty years ago, had not affected her. As the story continues, however, the reader begins to realize that that event, which occurred when Granny was 20 year old, was really a pivotal moment in her life. Even though she married another man, had his children, and convinced herself the pain was...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The man in the cart could be John, he had taken the reins before in her life and led her on a safe journey--their life together with their children.  She recognized &quot;him by his hands, driving the cart.&quot;  She did not have to &quot;look in his face&quot; because she knew him without seeing.  He drives her down the tree laden path among the thousand birds that &quot;were singing a Mass.  As John had protected her in her life, he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When Granny thinks about hell, she is thinking about the day she was jilted and the mental anguish she suffers when she thinks about George.  She prayed for sixty years trying to forget George, afraid that remembering him would  make her lose &quot;her soul in the deep pit of hell&quot;.When Granny thinks about heaven, &quot;she felt easy about her soul. She had her secret comfortable understanding with a few favorite saints who cleared a...]]></description>
