Answer and Explanation:

Two significant elements contribute to the appealing work of O'Connor's. The first element is O'Connor's speculated use of humour. O'Connor's humour is a blend of sarcasm and verbal slapstick. She is not restrained from letting her characters downpour or suffer such physical disagreement. A second element contributing to making interest in O'Connor's fiction is her grotesque or distorted reality.

Spirituality is one of her major themes in her writings. Wise Blood is her first novel, and it is set in a large Southern city. In Southern city, there is a rule of materialism and deception. It is a world of salesmen, disregard preachers, prostitutes, aimless youth, men, and empty spirituality. They all must try to find some satisfaction in money or casual sex. As the novel proceeds, we came to the idea of characters having lost in their empty pursuits of money and libidinous. O'Connor's depict the abandonment and disillusionment of genuine spirituality in her fiction.
