This is because the revolutionary leaders are no better than the current government, where they are engaging various activities of corruption that is delegitimizing the revolution. To illustrate this, Porter uses the character of Braggioni; he is a revolutionary leader that is supposed to represent the promise of the new leaders (strong, young and idealistic). Yet, Braggioni is: fat, out shape and unkempt.
Clearly he is incapable of redemption, evidence of this can be seen by looking no further than comments that Braggioni makes about people who supported him during the revolution. A good example of this can be found in the passage where it says "Now, years later, he is revolutionary and leader of men who whisper secrets in his ear. He encourages them, gives them money, promises them jobs, and tells them they must join unions, take part in demonstrations, and attend meetings. However, he tells Laura, "They are stupid, they are lazy, they are treacherous, they would cut my throat for nothing." But Braggioni lives the good life, eating and drinking his fill, sleeping in a soft bed with his wife, and singing to Laura."
What this passage shows; is that Braggioni has become...
The sheer contempt that he has for the people he encourages to continue to support the revolution is: evidence of such thinking. This is an obvious sign that he changed from: the young revolutionary to a corrupt bureaucrat. He is incapable of redemption because he calls the people who are supporters stupid behind their backs. This is the overall image that Porter is trying to instill upon the reader about the revolution.

Revelation In Flannery O'Connor's short story "Revelation," the characters of Mrs. Turpin and Mary Grace. Though Mrs. Turpin is ostensibly the main character of the story, Mary Grace plays such a crucial, oppositional role to Mrs. Turpin that one may compare and contrast the two characters. In particular, examining the crucial differences and continuities between Mrs. Turpin and Mary Grace helps to demonstrate how Mary serves as a kind of representation

Praised for attaining "an excellence not only of action but of interior disposition and activity' that struggled to reflect the goodness and love of God"
Grace and Sin in Flannery O'Connor Virtually all of Flannery O'Connor's short stories contain the receiving of grace by an unworthy protagonist at the tale's climatic moment. The hero of "Parker's Back" gets a Catholic, Byzantine tattoo of Christ on his back to please (unsuccessfully) his fundamentalist Protestant wife. The grandmother of "A Good Man is Hard to find" sees the face of the divine in the escaped convict known only
Everything That Rises Meets Good Country PeopleThe characters and situations of Flannery O�Connor�s stories give a unique glimpse into a grotesque world of the South�a world that O�Connor used to draw meaning about the moment of grace that touches and changes characters� lives forever (Fitzgerald). To do this, she often focused on the relationship between mystery and manners in everyday Southerners� lives, but did so in a way that relied
