Joy Hopwell, a thirty-year-old woman disabled since childhood, takes great comfort in her advanced degrees and regards with unconcealed disdain the uneducated “good country people” around her. Joy considers her mother naïve and superficial, Mrs. Freeman a dim-witted busybody, and the Bible salesman, Manley Pointer, a fool and buffoon. Ironically, while Joy sees herself as so much more perceptive than the residents of the small southern town where she lives, of all the characters in Flannery O’Conner’s short story, she is the most blind, the most superficial in her assessment of people. Mrs. Hopewell correctly saw that as Joy grew older, she grew more bitter and less able to see what was going on around her.
