No, I do not believe Flannery O’Connor is the “Queen of Mean”. I believe O’Connor is just realistic. People today are so caught up on how people are “suppose to act” and “suppose to be”, they forget the only way to really know a person is to just get to know the person. For example, when someone sees an African American, he or she assumes the person is either “ghetto” or come from the lower class of society. O’Connor’s ability to “see” people helps opens others’ eyes. Also, it teaches to not judge a book by its cover. Another example, some people expect a Caucasian person to live in a good home, and “All Caucasians are racist”. These stereotypes are killing our society, and we need to stop! Flannery O’Connor is the “Queen of Realism”.
