The Flannery OConnor novel, Wise Blood, is a tragic story set in the declining south. The characters of the novel, the main character, Hazel Motes, in particular, struggle with their religious identity and suffering throughout the course of the plot. What follows here is a report on the books central themes in regards to religious ideas.
Table of Contents
- The Church without Christ plays a large role in developing Hazel's Motes as a character
- Suffering probably plays an important role in the novel because it's a story about a man, and other characters as well, suffering through religion
- One major part of Hazel's preaching is his idea of redemption
- One of the major religious symbols is the new 'jesus' discovered by Enoch Emery
