Seminar paper from the year 1995 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: very good, University of Bamberg (Language and Literature Sciences), course: U. S. Women Writers of the 19. and 20. Century, language: English, abstract: In 1955, Eudora Welty published "The Bride of Innisfallen", a collection of seven stories including "No Place for You, My Love". The short story takes the readers on a couple's journey into the bayou country south of New Orleans where the two main characters try to find fulfillment of love. Before the author goes into detail about this unusual trip, she wants to give a brief outline of the plot and characterize the protagonists and focus on their relationship. Although the characters are important, here the most interesting and fascinating part of the story is the journey itself because it reflects the relationship. In the following chapters the author concentrates on the trip's development and the atmosphere created around it before finishing with an explanation of the point-of-view used.
