    Katherine Anne Porter's The Jilting Of Granny Weatherall

    In Katherine Anne Porter’s “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” an old woman’s light is slowly fading out and memories from her past are phasing in and out of her head as she lives out her final moments. The times she was “jilted” are poring out of her memories, releasing themselves and allowing her the peaceful death she so desires. She has good memories: memories of her children, memories of her husband, and memories of her silly father: “Her father had lived to be one hundred and two years old and had drunk a noggin of strong hot toddy on his last birthday. He told the reporters it was his daily habit, and he owed his long life to that” (Porter). But it is the bad memories she is letting go of, the memories of her jilting. Her children surround her as she dies, floating about like balloons above her, but she does not want to go yet because she has so much she still wants to do. In the medial of “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” in paragraphs twenty-seven through twenty-nine, it constitutes the struggle of the memory of her getting jilted by the man she loved.…

Being the impatient woman she is, Granny swore that she would never forgive God for dragging her along, and then she “blew out the light” (Porter 83). The short story, “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall,” interprets the parting condition of Granny’s soul to be the consequence of her conceited attempts to save herself through systems and patterns of religious practices.…
