''A Curtain of Green'' was the first collection of short stories written by Eudora Welty. In these stories Welty looks at the state of Mississippi through the eyes of its inhabitants, the common people, both black and white, and presents a realistic view of the racial relations that existed at the time. Welty, though, looks past race, not overtly focusing on the subject, and sees Mississippi as what it is. The stories subtly combine myth and reality to create portraits of odd, but undeniable, beauty. One of the finest pieces in the collection is titled "A Worn Path." Welty's skill as a writer perhaps reaches its finest point with this story of an aging woman who faces her greatest obstacle, the journey of life as she tries to cope with the grief from the death of her grandson she goes through a journey comparable to a Greek epic. Full of challenges that she had to overcome while still keeping her dignity. Welty writes "A Worn Path" to show the reader that even though they aren't an epic hero they can still have dignity in their life. ==Stories in the collection== *"Lily Daw and the Three Ladies" *"A Piece of News" *"Petrified Man" *"The Key" *"Keela, the Outcast Indian Maiden" *"Why I Live at the P.O." *"The Whistle" *"The Hitch-Hikers" *"A Memory" *"Clytie" *"Old Mr. Marblehall" *"Flowers for Marjorie" *"A Curtain of Green" *"A Visit of Charity" *"Death of a Traveling Salesman" *"Powerhouse" *"A Worn Path" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Curtain of Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
