This telling of a tragic story is able to influence the readers to romanticize the story of Ethan, Mattie, and Zeena, while the novel itself stays true to its naturalist roots. This is important in the development of the plot and the audiences connect to the characters as the readers begin to root on the forbidden love that Ethan and Mattie have, and then in turn, by the end of the novel have pity for all characters. Towards the end of the novel, the narrator has a conversation with Mrs. Hale about what he saw, which gives the readers yet another perspective of the story. “Mrs. Hale answered simply: ‘There was nowhere else for her to go;’ and my heart simply tightened at the thought of the hard compulsions of the poor” (pg. 179). This interaction between the narrator and Mrs. Hale further allows for irony to emerge as their descriptions of the emotions they felt towards the accident influence how the reader feels.

In retrospect, even though Hazel Hermann 6 tried his absolute hardest to stay away from religion, he was still the pinpoint of light in the darkness. In conclusion, Wise Blood is one of the most profoundly deep novels I have ever read. While I was reading Wise Blood, I originally thought that it was going to be a simple story of a man struggling with identity. As the book started off, it was simply Hazel on a train headed to a city where he would stay for a bit. Even by the third chapter, nothing strange or unusual happened, which I thought was a bit of a let down because I love books that hit the ground running right from the start.
