Yes, you could say that the Jilting of Granny Weatherall is a stream of conciousness. But I would like to add that The Jilting of Granny Weatherall is told from the 3rd person perspective of an 80 year old woman who's bad memories comeback to haunt her at the end of life. She isn't losing conciousness so much as going delerious in bed.

The man who "cursed like a sailor's parrot" is an unnamed character who was present long ago when Granny realized she had been jilted at her wedding. At that moment, Granny was so overwhelmed that she began to fall in a faint - The whole bottom dropped out of the world, and there she was blind and sweating with nothing under her feet and the walls falling away. His hand had caught her under the breast, she had not fallen, there was the...

The last line of the story depicts Granny's death, "She stretched herself with a deep breath and blew out the light." Granny is a woman, who even as she is dying, denies that she is dying. She has lied to herself for years, pretending to be happy with her life. She lies to herself when she says that she has already said her good-by's by having made trips to see all her family 20 years ago. She's even trying to convince herself that...

This isn't likely - in the story Granny says "What does a woman do when she has put on the white veil and set out the white cake for a man and he doesn't come? . . . No, I swear he never harmed me but in that. He never harmed me but in that . . . and what if he did?" The phrasing is very much an old-fashioned euphemism for assuring (a father? another future husband?) that, though he jilted her, he did not leave her deflowered ("harmed"). ...

The word "weather" means that she has experienced a lot of things and he have endured a lot of hardships and sufferings through the passage of time, to make it through thick and thin and to conquer all odds. It is trying to create a impression that the grandmother had suffered through hard times and have overcome many obstacles to what she is now. The word "all" means that he had gone through many bad and tragic times and she have seen...

In Katherine Ann Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall", we see the reality of Granny being that she is at the end of her life. Still, her mind goes back to the event 60 years earlier when she was left at the altar, a jilted bride. This seems to be her reality- it's where she is mentally even though she is past it physically. It's an unresolved issue. Although Granny insists to her "young" doctor that she is "fine", it is quite...

The old lady, a tough Southerner or Southwesterner with an intense love of life, has “weathered all,” even a jilting; she had expected a groom,George, and was publicly disappointed when he failed to show up. Now, at her death, again a priest is in the house, and again she is...
