Thesis: "God's Grace via Violence" is a Major, Controversial Theme in Flannery O'Connor's Work Chief among the reasons for Flannery O'Connor's enduring popularity is her consistent use of symbolism and devices to explore humanity, God's grace and our relationship with God. "Revelation" is one example of O'Connor's sometimes-controversial "God's grace via violence" theme, which has been denounced by some but staunchly defended by O'Connor. The clear implication is that Mrs. Turpin's false sense of Christian superiority has been upended by Mary Grace's violent dispensation of God's grace, so Mrs. Turpin finally sees all those "beneath" her now spiritually superior to her. In the same vein as Mrs. Turpin, the grandmother in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is a boldly drawn smug, southern Christian to whom God's grace is revealed via violence. When this horrible grace finally transforms the grandmother into accepting the Misfit's humanity and acknowledging their kinship in Christ by reaching out to touch the Misfit, it is enough to make the Misfit kill; yet, that terribly violent grace is also enough to slightly transform the Misfit.. O'Connor's penchant for showing grace via violence has led to arguments for and against its use. However, O'Connor believed that God's grace comes through the "trauma of the cross" and staunchly defended her use of violence.

There is a long list of movements that were begun for the sake of art, for instance cubism and surrealism. These two movements experienced grave criticism as they touched nihillism. On the other hand, movements like Dada have been admired and honored by the majorities (MobileReference). If truth be told, the early 20th century brought a turbulent and disorderly change in the world. The First World War and the Russian Revolution tainted people's understanding of their worlds in an overwhelming manner. This new mind set of people was strongly reflected in the early twentieth century art movements as well. They were all, if seen in technical terms, were boldly modern and groundbreaking. In order to look into and explore the structure of realization, these movements moved further than the unruffled surface of traditional painting. However, perhaps Dada must be looked for its most compelling explorations of the modern psyche. It was a movement that put a great emphasis on mental investigation (Hopkins 1).
