From the supplier: Flannery O'Connor depicts and condones the masculinity of religious thought in her characters Mrs. May, from 'Greenleaf,' Mrs. Turpin, from 'Revelation' and Hulga, from 'Good Country People.' Each of these women sees herself as masculine in her ability to think independently and dominate both sexes. Each character is eventually castrated in a symbolic way by either a man or some symbol of a masculine God.
