“The dragon is by the side of the road, watching those who pass. Beware lest her devour you. We go to the father of souls, but it is necessary to pass by the dragon.” (St. Cyril of Jerusalem) This quote was made famous by Flannery O’Connor’s writings. The quote is there to remind the readers that we will inevitably come across a “dragon” at some point throughout our lives. The dragon we see may take on many forms but all ending in some sort of suffering, pain, or bad decision. All the possibilities of the dragon depend upon the person facing it.

In Flannery O’Connor’s short stories the symbolism of the dragon is used to carry a theme of temptation throughout the plot.

The chaos in this story comes to a climax when both characters come face to face. Wayne has apparently reclaimed his manhood, for he is seen with his bow uplifted and he is in hot pursuit of the buck.
