Love is a very powerful and compelling feeling. It may lead people to act in ways that they never have before and to move people to overcome and accomplish tasks that would otherwise seem impossible. Sophocles once stated‚ “One word frees us all of the weight and pain of life: That word is love.” This statement is the underlying factor that motivates the main character in Eudora Welty’s short story‚ “A Worn Path.” The story portrays an elderly woman’s journey to the city during a frozen day in
