Apocalypse of Ruby TurpinThere are three distinctive characteristics that Ruby Turpin showed in the essay "Apocalypse". Ruby was an extremely dominant, critical, controlling woman who was blind to the true reality of life. She definitely needed an epiphany to help her change her attitude. I guess she's never heard of the saying "the first shall be last and the last shall be first." Claude and Ruby Turpin were a couple who had a little bit of everything. They didn't want much and didn't mind giving to the needy. They had no children, just a yard full of chickens, cows and pigs, and a house of their own. Ruby therefore considered herself at the top of the survey in terms of economic situation. It was her thinking that led her to believe that she could judge others so much. This was clearly visible when they entered the doctor's office. She boldly assessed everyone as she entered the office, and this was done by first glancing at her outward appearance. It was important to Ruby what kind of clothes and shoes they wore, how their hair was styled, and what words they spoke. She believed in her mind that she could determine what kind of person they were by judging their outward appearance. For Ruby, she believed that her life (even though she weighed 180 pounds) was better than that of any "nigger" or "trashy white person." In other words, his life was far better than those of these classes of people. At least that's what she thought. One of them was flowery, bald and robust, a little smaller than Madame Turpin... middle of paper... because of what she had done, and what she had, which she had to be the first to do it. walk the streets of glory. Ruby's revelation showed her something entirely different. It was revealed that no matter what earthly things she had done and no matter what physical things she had, "the first shall be last and the last shall be first." was the true reality of life. In conclusion, Ruby Turpin's meeting with Mary Grace helped her see a "Revelation". Mary Grace could clearly see these flaws in Ruby: being critical, controlling, and blind to reality as a downfall and an obstacle to life. his eternal home. The very idea of ​​being called a "warthog from hell" pricked his heart, changing his outlook on life. Works Cited O'Connor, Flannery. "Revelation." Literature for composition.
