However, because of what she considers to have been his suicide, Alison is left with an incomplete picture of who he was in life.

In this way Bechdel is able to reveal things about her father that she can 't prove to be true, but are reflective enough of his life to become true.

Flannery O'Connor tries to show that virtuous characters who are blinded by their innocence are not going to be the lucky ones in the story but instead the ones who commit horrible crimes don't have anything done to them.
