Does Granny Weatherall die peacefully, impatiently, or angrily after receiving “the sign” she requests?
Granny Weatherall is looking for a sign, but she expects a “bridegroom” or Christ. Many critics say she fails to recognize the sign because her daughter delivers it. Some critics say she feels jilted twice, once by her first lover and once by God/Christ. Some say by “blowing out the light “she jilts God/Christ before He/She can jilt her. This story is a powerful example of psychological realism. Considering all she’s experienced, discuss whether she dies peacefully after receiving “the sign” she requests, or impatiently–even angrily–after despairing of receiving the sign?
