“Free Lucynell Scene Rewrite”
In this activity, students will consider the use of “the grotesque” in the story as part of the Southern Gothic tradition in literature, with a focus on Lucynell. They will then rewrite a scene as a short play in which Lucynell is able to hear and respond to the other characters.
One key element of Southern Gothic literature is the inclusion of “the grotesque.” This often takes the form of a physical disability or an emotional limitation and is meant to offer some larger comment about the character. In the story, Mr. Shiftlet, Mrs. Crater, and Lucynell are all “grotesque” in their own ways. How do their physical and emotional limitations contribute to a deeper understanding of The End of Innocence and/or The Possibility of Salvation?
