The Barber:When Flannery O'Connor wrote this story, she was under twenty-two and working at the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. Maybe it's because Flannery O'Connor's works were famous for violent writing. The words about racial discrimination are repeated to appear over and over again. Probably, it doesn't matter in that time of the 1950s if we look back at those old days. As a Southern writer, her style of work is completely different from others and relies heavily on grotesque characters and regional settings. Especially in his story “The Barber”. The whole story concerns local elections in the small country town of Dilton. Two candidates are vying for the Democratic nomination. The barber insists on supporting Hawkson, just like the other barbers. However, Rayber prefers to vote for Darmon. He's pretty annoyed by people who vote for a candidate like Hawkson, who is really backwards, racist, and narrow-minded. He can't imagine that voters will choose a man who chews tobacco like that. Rayber, who is a university professor and content with his social status, considers himself intellectually superior to the barber. He looks down on what the barber chooses and keeps his thoughts on the election to himself. He prefers to ignore it or not argue with “a madman”. The silence doesn't stop the barber's mouth, it continues to irritate Rayber. Rayber can't stand it anymore and gives a speech describing why people need to support Darmon. In the story it seems that Rayber is more intellectual than the other characters and Darmon is considered the best candidate. Whereas Rayber has a hard time changing the barber's mind about voting for Hawkson. It hurt when he spoke. The words that come out of her mouth are unclear and fluid... in the middle of the paper... in the mass of Flannery O'Connor stories. Shilflet is supposed to leave with Lucynell Crater and take her on their honeymoon. At this time, "the early afternoon was clear and surrounded by pale blue skies"; he still has a chance to save himself. Instead, after leaving her at the Hot Spot, he loses everything. The weather at that moment said: "Deep in the sky a very slow and thunderless storm was brewing... as if it wanted to dry every drop of air from the earth before it burst." The weather is getting worse after the hitchhiker boy jumps out of the car. The personification of time changes based on the plots of the story. O'Connor uses those writing skills to make content more visible. The audience can easily recognize the plot process by the description of whether it is getting better or worse.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
