Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3 (B), http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistics/American Studies), language: English, abstract: "A Worn Path" written by Eudora Welty was first published within her volume ofshort stories "A Curtain of Green" in 1941.1 It is a story about life in its purestnaturalism.Welty´s main character is the old Negro woman Phoenix Jackson. With her tremendousself-sacrifice and the love for her little grandson she frequently goes on an adventurousjourney from the old Natchez Trace into town to get some medicine for her grandchildwho swallowed lye some years ago and is frequently suffering from sore throat.But more than one could think of the story is a metaphor for the way of life thateveryone of us has to go. The story´s path expresses the hard journey of life - thejourney, even Eudora Welty speaks about when being asked about the unsolved fate ofthe grandson: "But it is the journey, the going ofthe errand, that is the story, and thequestion is not whether the grandchild is in reality alive or dead."2 This can be easilycompared to the path of life and to the fact that it´s result is less important than the pathitself.1 Kreyling, Michael.
