Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This thesis discusses the effects of war on the southern plantation lifestyle depicted in Eudora Welty's <em>Delta Wedding</em>. This thesis focuses on the female characters who adapt to the absence of the husbands during wartime. Wars are the catalyst for societal change in the novel, and the women must adapt to the new social changes that are encroaching upon the plantation. The chapters explore each individual reaction of female characters in the novel. The female characters in <em>Delta Wedding</em> represent varying wars of reacting to shifting social norms brought about by war.</p>
