             not own any perfume" (O'Connor Good Country People). Manley also carries
             condoms in a hollow Bible. Interestingly, as Di Renzo points out, Hulga's
             leg becomes a "token of virginity" (Di Renzo 37). This appears obvious to
             us as Manley promptly leaves the hayloft with Hulga's leg.
             In addition, Jeanne Campbell notes that the ocular metaphor is an
             important aspect to the story. After Hulga loses her eyeglasses at the end
             of the story, we realize her "internal vision has been readjusted. It is
             in many ways a story about looking and not seeing, with great stress laid
             on repeated references to watching, eyes, or inner vision" (Campbell 38).
             Vision in this world is "faulty, perhaps the reason her father accidentally
             shot off her leg when she was a child" (38). Hulga tells Manley, "I'm one
             of those people who see through to nothing" (O'Connor Good Country People)
             and Manley's eyes are described as "two steel spikes" (O'Connor) and after
             all he carries a glass eye he got from a previous conquest. (Campbell 38)
             From these scenes, Campbell asserts that vision itself has become
             grotesque. Additionally the verbal images O'Connor utilizes make clichés
             grotesque. (38) Even the title of the story, in Campbell's opinion,
             O'Connor takes these grotesque situations to portray basic fundamental
             struggles. Campbell claims this is especially true in "Good Country
             People." She states, "O'Connor characters' self-hatred of the female body
