What what Granny's name in the Jilting of Granny Weatherall?
Granny's jilting has overshadowed her life.
In The Jilting of Granny Weatherall who is John?
The protagonist in the story is Ellen Weatherall, or Granny Weatherall. The story centers around her, and it flips back and forth between Granny's present and past memories. She must overcome her own personal insecurities after being jilted and the memories of her former fiance, George.

What is the significance of hapsy in the jilting of granny weatherall?
The author, Katherine Anne Porter, uses Hapsy as a means of communication with Granny's late husband, John. Being that Granny wants Hapsy, her dead daughter, to find John shows the reader how Granny feels as though her time is up and prepares for her afterlife.
Who jilted Granny Weatherall?
She was jilted twice. First at the altar when George doesn't come for her. Second on her deathbed when "George" does not come to get her again. She kind of expected the one to take her into the next life to be her bridegroom George who left her so long ago. However, she doesn't see him, realizes that he isn't coming, and feels jilted for the second time. Ahhh, no. I cannot agree with the above. The bridegroom, Jesus, or God, jilted Granny. There was no sign. She took control of her life back and blew out the candle, the light that was she. Incidentally, in a way John jilted her, too. He left her with the children to raise, alone. Granny never really needed anyone as it turned, not George, not God, not John. Perhaps, she will find Hapsy. - response to first answer by CM
Does anyone think that Hapsy may have been the illegitimate child of George?
I have recently come to the conclusion that Hapsy HAS to be George's child, or Granny wouldn't have loved her so much. Think about it... "Tell him [George] I was given back everything he took away and more. Oh, no, oh, God, no, there was something else besides the house and the man and the children. Oh, surely they were not all? What was it? Something not given back... Her breath crowded down under her ribs and grew into a monstrous frightening shape with cutting edges; it bored up into her head, and the agony was unbelievable: Yes, John, get the Doctor now, no more talk, the time has come" This is saying basically that from the day George ripped Granny's heart out, she has regained everything she lost. However, there is one thing she is mising and it cannot be repaid. She wants Hapsy to be alive, because she is his child. John was a security blanket; he comforted her in her losses and kept her from being all alone, her worst fear. Clearly, Hapsy wouldn't be quite so important to Granny if it was one of John's kids, see how she treats Cornelia Hope that answers your question... It has gotten me thinking about it as i write my English essay on The Jilting of Granny Weatherall. however literature IS different to everybody, so some people may see Hapsy as John's child

Granny believes that only short amounts of time have passed between Dr. Harry's visits, but a close reading of details including her daughter's comments make it clear that hours have passed. She is having the last rites of the Catholic Church performed and believes that the priest is merely tickling her feet. In addition, she believes she is talking to her daughter and priest and doctor, and apparently she is only moaning or mumbling. At any rate, the others cannot understand her.
