Abstract
Introduction: This paper aims to analyze Flannery O’Connor’s stories as recurring narratives where sickness transforms ordinary people into virtuous individuals. Sickness, in O’Connor’s works, is portrayed as a blessing, a perspective the author herself endorsed. This study examines O’Connor’s personal battle with the disease that ultimately claimed her life to support this view.
Results/Findings: Through a detailed analysis of O’Connor’s short stories, the paper reveals her unique personal theology.
