Religion In The Member Of The Wedding

335 Words2 Pages

Constantly being left out is one of the worst things a normal twelve year old can experience. The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers follows a twelve year old Frankie who feels she doesn't belong in the world. Frankie undergoes many changes within a very short period of time. She makes many decisions and many mistakes, but none of these are guided by a religious influence. Religion has little to no influence in Frankie's life, and little to no influence in the novel itself. A major motif of the novel is redefining oneself. Typically, when a work can be considered religious, religion guides the characters in their actions and decisions. Frankie redefines herself either based on others or based on how she feels from one day to the next.
