Flannery O’Connor y la reescritura (posmoderna y suburbana) de la femme-fatale: Leora Watts y Sabbath Lily Hawks
View through CrossRef
The main goal of this article is to analyze how Flannery O’Connor, through Leora Watts and Sabbath Lily Hawks, reaches the goal of introducing the femme-fatale in the tradition of Southern Gothic, from which had lied far apart. These characters represent the two main ways in which the femme-fatale has ever been represented, such as the seductress and the victim. While Leora Watts, presented as a classical femme-fatale, is finally seen as a victim of post-war America, Sabbath Lily Hawks, shown as Gothic damsel in distress, is finally understood as the villain’s tormentor. Religion, seduction, and horror make the atmosphere of Wise Blood perfect for the flourishing of all kinds of femme-fatales.
