... However, every person comes to a time in their life when they feel a sense of personal isolation from others. ... Personal isolation occurs at least once in a person’s life, and that is why it is a popular subject in literature. Personal isolation occurs in the writing by Katherine Anne Porter “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” and in “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason. The characters of Leroy and Norma Jean in “Shiloh” and Granny Weatherall in “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” experience personal isolation.
Personal isolation has many different feelings and outcomes according to the person. The reaction of personal isolation makes people act differently toward the people around them. In “Shiloh”, there is personal isolation between two characters, Leroy and Norma Jean. The personal isolation seen between these characters is physical. ... This led to a physical isolation with Leroy leaving to be a trucker, and Norma Jean going back to school. Norma Jean shows signs of personal isolation with keeping a constant busy schedule. ... This built a wall between their marriage and Leroy began to feel personal isolation. ... She is in so much isolation that her true feelings are buried inside her. ... The personal isolation that both Norma Jean and Leroy are facing has turned them into different people.
Personal isolation is not always caused from physical separation but mental. ... This occurs in the story “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall”. Granny Weatherall is now eighty years old and as time goes by she feels her personal isolation heighten. ... These feelings build up to the point of further neglect and isolation.
