<The Jilting of Granny Weatherall> 作者: Katherine Anne Porter
最近在读这篇小说，由於它是意识流的小说，看得有点小混乱；
又有关这篇小说的资料好像不多，想请有读过这篇小说的大大帮忙解惑。
由故事，Granny是个已经进入弥留状态的老太太，在弥留状态，
她的思绪会不断的在现时与潜意识交错。其中有一段在描述她在婚礼被Geroge抛弃:
「Since the day the wedding cake was not cut, but thrown out and weasted.
The whole bottom dropped out of the world, and there she was blind and
sweating with nothing under her feet and the walls falling away. His hand had
caught her under the breast, she had not fallen.....」
(1)请问这里的His hand是谁的手?
接下来还有一段，「Granny stepped up in the cart very lightly and reached
for the reins, but a man sat beside beside her and she knew him by his hands,
drining the cart.」
(2)请问这里的His hand又是谁的手?
(3)Granny说她在60岁的时候就准备好要死了，那又为何在80岁的现在又说她不想死?
最後，Granny祈求「God, give a sign!」
「For the second time there was no sign. Again no bridegroom and the
priest in the house...............I'll never forgive it. She stretched herself
with a deep breath and below out the light.」
请问(4)这里的bridegroom是耶稣吗?
(5)I'll never forgive it. 是指她不能原谅神没有来接她去天堂吗?
(6)最後一个问题，这样的一个坚强又能干的女人，最後是上天堂还是下地狱阿?
抱歉，问题真的很多....ˊˋ
可否请有看过这篇小说的人帮个忙，先谢谢罗!
