The Jilting of Granny Weatherall

I find it amusing that I read Porter's short story the very next week after my last blog response. Granny Weatherall reminds me of many of the other older people that I know. Disgruntled and seemingly waiting to die. Everything seems to be happening more in her head than in real life. Hope seems to be her biggest let down for she has been left at the alter by her husband. It seems that she fears similarly that she has been "left at the altar" by God. Perhaps, maybe she has come to the conclusion that there is no god. Ah.. "there's nothing more cruel than this".
