Sheila Daube
The Jilting of Granny Weatherall

2024

About the Item

The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" is a short story written by Katherine Anne Porter. The title refers to the emotional and psychological experience of the main character, Granny Weatherall, who is an elderly woman reflecting on her life. In the story, Granny Weatherall is lying on her deathbed, thinking back to her past. One of the key events she reflects on is being jilted—or abandoned—by her fiancé, George, many years ago. On the day they were supposed to be married, he left her without explanation, which had a profound impact on her. Though she eventually moved on, married someone else, and had children, the pain of that jilting stayed with her throughout her life. The title refers to this experience of being abandoned or betrayed at a pivotal moment in her life. It also symbolically points to the way Granny feels "jilted" by life itself, especially as she faces the reality of her own impending death and the unresolved emotional pain she has carried for years.
