What is the narrator’s attitude toward Mrs. Turpin in the beginning of thestory? How can you tell? Does this attitude change, or stay the same, at the end?
What will be an ideal response?
- Mrs. Turpin, bigoted and smugly self-congratulatory, seems an unlikely recipient for a revelation direct from God; yet even she is capable of accepting such a revelation and of being transformed and redeemed by it. In “Revelation” the smug Mrs. Turpin is blessed with a vision of salvation, but it is clear that the narrator denounces Mrs. Turpin’s behavior and thought patterns wholeheartedly. Since it is only at the very end of the story that Mrs. Turpin experiences the full impact of her revelation, the narrator continues to condemn her attitude up until the end.
