The article explores the literary work of Eudora Welty, a famous writer of the 20 th century. The paper focuses on her short story “Livvie”, which shows how women were treated in that period. E. Welty presents the female character through simple but deep psychologichal and emotional descriptions. In this article we will discuss about the diffuculties women faced, their patience, and how their emotionals changed over time, that is to say, to recognize inner desires and possibility of a different life. I try to depict the theme of emotional and personal awakening in E. Welty’s short story ” Livvie”.
