MEMBER OF THE WEDDING
By Carson McCuller
Stories are not just stories to authors. Once you read "The Member of the Wedding," you can see what types of symbols McCuller used to portray how identity, time and autonomous moments contribute to one’s "capacity." The story line is about Frankie, a young girl trying to belong to something in the world.
With the idea of change, Frankie tries to leave her old life and start a new life. She tries to change her name in order to do this, but in the end changing your name does not change your life or it’s "capacity." In the end, Frankie was still Frankie because of the awareness and love which made her belong to herself, Berenice and John Henry.
