Flannery O’Connor was known for writing characters who had dubious moral and intellectual capabilities, and she often liked to write on the theme of the tragic realities of everyday life. She often linked her writing to religion and how the world had become ignorant of values. In her short story, The Life You Save May Be Your Own, she tells the story of three odd and grotesque characters. The short story begins with a man, Mr. Tom Shiftlet, coming upon Lucynell Crater and her daughter, Lucynell.
Myths have existed throughout all of human history, explaining how we came to be, why we exist, and how our actions exist to teach lessons.

Colorful Firebirds fluttered in enormous twisted oaks while hundreds of stinky skunk apes foraged for plum-colored worms in a grassy field rippling with pink and white wildflowers. They were tall—at least ten feet—but crooked, with bowed legs, gorilla arms that shot off in angles, and curly matted orange fur, glinting gold in the midday light. Some were dressed for the hunt wearing taupe,
Hitler kept things simple and made only a few points. Martin Luther’s speeches were full of lyrical metaphors that took the listener on a timeline trip, from the past, to the present, then into the future.

The dichotomy between madness and sanity has been one that is ever changing through history. John Haslam’s 1810 Illustrations of Madness defined madness as “being the opposite to reason and good sense, as light is to darkness, straight to crooked”. This assertion portrays madness as the binary opposite of sanity. Thus the two are seen as existing in static opposition. I will reflect on how Conceptions of madness in the Middle were a mixture of the divine, diabolical, magical and transcendental.
