==Revised paragraph from Revelation (short story)

Original
Ruby Turpin is a large Southern woman who is, like so many of Flannery O'Connor's characters, stuck in a narrow way of perceiving the world. She feels her actions and decisions make her superior to black people and those she calls "white trash." The story opens as she and her husband Claud enter a doctor's crowded waiting room. She insists that he take the last vacant chair. She notices a dirty toddler with a runny nose lying across two seats and is quietly affronted that the child's dirty, uncouth mother doesn't make him move over for Mrs Turpin to sit.

==Revised paragraph from Revelation (short story)

Original
Flannery O'Connor uses the names of the characters in this story to aid the reader in identifying the true nature of the same characters. The word "turpitude" means ugliness and is suggestive of the ugliness of Mrs. Turpin's judgments on those she has contact with. She also has great contempt for the physical ugliness of those that she views as being beneath her. Yet the name Mary Grace is suggestive of the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. This is the exact opposite of what Mrs. Turpin sees when she looks at the young woman that is acne covered and surly. The name Grace is also ironic with the complete lack of grace that is presented with the girl's appearance. The conclusion to the story shows that on the surface Mary Grace does not represent her name, but instead becomes a messenger of God's grace for Mrs. Turpin.[3]

Revised
Ms. O'Connor, known to be a devout Christian, is known to use many religious symbols throughout her work. In Revelation, in Mrs. Turpin visiojn, she sees a swinging bridge that is full of people. This is equivalent to Jacob's Ladder in the Bible, Genesis 28. Also when she sees the faces of the people who she calls her equal and of good disposition, and they are altered, this is eqivalent to God's fire that burns away everything but the goodness in people.
