Originally I was planning on trying to find papers on O'Connor and how she was influenced by the time period and other writers, but there really isn't much out there. I have changed gears to focus on philosophies/ theologies that emerge in her works. There is a great article "Flannery O'Connor: the Catholic writer as a Baptist." and "Flannery O'Connor's Others: Freud, Lacan and the Unconscious." Both explore her duality and the inherent paradox found in her works.
I might try to synthesize my thesis to point out points where O'Connor's Catholic images support the Protestant society she lives in.
