Description
Eudora Welty portrays the family as the most redeeming
force in Souttern culture. Her novels Delta Wedding
and Losing Battles describe the family's functions of
socialization and mutual aid. Both novels demonstrate
how loyalty to family and pride in family heritage
strengthen the individual. In The Optimist's Daughter,
family love is able to transform bitterness into
compassion and misunderstanding into knowledge. It is
sufficient to sustain the individual through grief,
loneliness, and regret. Eudora Welty presents the
enduring and cohesive family as the most powerful
influence on individual lives.
