THE REALITY & REFLECTION EUDORA WELTY'S MIRROR OF CHARACTERS IN HER STORY DEATH OF A TRAVELING SALESMAN
2013
Overview
Eudora Welty (1909-2001) has a significant status in Modem American literature in general, and the Southern American Literature in particular. Critics rank her side by side with William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway and others. Moreover, she is well appreciated as a landmark in the American feminine literary movement with Catherine Ann Porter, Flannery O'Connor and others. Her fictional production includes Short Stories, Novels, and Novellas. Her works are marked by rich language including vernacular words written as they pronounced by public southerners. Another characteristics of her writings is her unique use of symbols, for she exploits all kinds of symbols in her work; the simple, the deep, and the confusing ones. Besides, she uses the mythological references that direct her readers' minds towards deep understanding of underlined themes that are shown by using her coherent style of writing. Her subjects are aspects of modem man's life in his modem world but on different scales. For, she emphasizes the importance of family relations, and its impacts upon modem man psychological stability. Also, critics agree that she stresses the importance of man- woman stable relationships, and tries to show readers that happy simple life is more important than unhappy sophisticated modem life. This is clearly shown in her story \"Death of a Traveling Salesman\". Her short story \"Death of a Traveling Salesman\" (1936) is her first published story in her life. It is well appreciated by many critics. Scholars has studied this story as a good example of Welty's usage of rich language, deep symbols, and mythological references. She tries to follow James Joyce and his stream of consciousness technique of writing. Nevertheless, what signifies this story is Welty's innovative way of presenting characters. For she presents a central character, Mr. Bowman, and through him readers meet other characters in the story. She uses his eyes as a mirror by which readers will see the fake reflections of others around him firstly, and their truths after. In this way, Eudora Welty urges her readers to search for truth of characters and life in the story. This paper attempts to study this aspect fully.
