The short story "Greenleaf" by Flannery O'Connor tells the story of Mrs. May, a bitter and selfish old woman. She has a low opinion of everyone around her, including her two sons. He also compares his family to that of the Greenleaf family, whom Mrs. May considers inferior to her. O'Connor unravels the story of Mrs. May and her disappearance through the use of point of view, character, and symbolism. She uses the third person omniscient view to give the reader an idea of ​​Mrs. May's character, the symbols of the bull and the conflict between the bull and Mrs. May to show the destruction of Mrs. May and give the story a more deep. sense of God's grace. O'Connor uses the limited omniscient point of view in the story so that the reader learns more about each character and family as they go along, instead of knowing everything from the beginning. It also causes Mrs. May to focus on how she sees the world. This way the reader has a more biased look at everything, because the story is told from their point of view and Mrs. May tries to make herself seem like a good woman who everyone is wronging. The reader thus learns to know his character better, as well as the other characters, but according to the more biased vision that Mrs. May has of them. For example, Mrs. May calls the Greenleafs dirty and always refers to how they "murder the king's English." From this point of view, the reader also understands Mrs. May's way of thinking. In Mrs. May's mind, the world she lives in operates according to cause-and-effect situations. She thinks that if she acts like a respectable woman, good things should happen to her. Alternatively, those who act like "trash" will get what she thinks they deserve. For example... middle of article...... story of being a "good Christian woman, but not believing in God". As she does not have a close connection to God like Greenleaf's, she only sees the bull as a nuisance and not for what it is supposed to represent, which is why she wishes to chase him away. Finally, the story “Greenleaf” uses many literary devices, such as symbolism, point of view, and characterization, to tell the story effectively and give it a deeper meaning that the reader should pay close attention to to find it. This explains why the story is called "Greenleaf" as opposed to "May" because the Greenleafs are more spiritual than the Mays and more than it appears at first glance. Although the Mays may seem superior at first glance, ironically, the "uneducated" and "dirty" Greenleafs that Mrs. May so despises are more spiritual and end up in a higher class, as shown by their sons..
