Flannery O'Connor

The American narrative fiction accomplished at the beginning of the twentieth century represents a vivid model which can be invested to understand a number of issues related to humanity common principles and its various natures. In this respect, we consider the American writer Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) as a novelist who, particularly acclaimed for her stories which combined comic with tragic and brutal. In this paper, we will be looking at just how O'Connor’s fiction includes a kind of cultural writing, focusing on symbolic significance and its impacts to bringing closer specific images to human thought and behavior. In fact, her stories topics include different patterns of the relationship of human nature, religion, thought and society. In this case, O’Connor novelistic experience was formed to reflect the important phenomenon of symbolic significance conveyed by the topic of her stories, which exceeding the thirty and her novels “Wise blood” and “The violent bear it away”. Her works are rich of symbolic elements which are used in her attractive style. Indeed O’Connor's fiction manifests special in the so-called Grotesque; as a novelistic genre that focuses on the mysterious and alien nature of people. In this context, we find her interested in treating Gothic and Southern traditions and their strangeness and brutalness, relying on diversity, dialogue, irony and internal conflict between what is Anthological and what is Material.
In this area, her active narrative mechanism is governed by logic of contemporary philosophy to describe the violence and the sacred by linking between them in very profound symbolic mysteries. Therefore, the values conveyed by her style is another reason to choose this topic, which I depend in its treatment on global description using other works of Flannery O’Connor, related to it, in addition to the most important intellectual and literary references that had a clear impact in her literary thought and novelistic tendency.
