Think about Hazel Motes, the primary character in O'Conner's first novel, Wise Blood. Hazel is spooky by the heritage of his evangelist granddad who "had ridden more than three regions with Jesus covered up in his mind like a stinger." He detested both the minister that his granddad encapsulated and the Jesus that the elderly person lectured – a Christ who paid to reclaim your spirit, and now comes to gather. However, Hazel would never fully run (or drive) far enough away. For a mind-blowing duration, this Jesus stalks him as "the worn out figure who moves from tree to tree in the rear of his psyche." And in spite of himself, Motes would turn into a minister.
