On the way, she has to face many obstacles. This story describes one of her such journeys to the town. The town was very far from her village and the journey was really very difficult. He was very sick so she had to go to the town at regular intervals to bring medicine for her grandson. She used to live in a village far away from the town. The story “A Worn Path” is about an old black woman called Phoenix Jackson. Thus ‘A worn path’ is an exquisitely controlled story of unconscious heroism & love. She is out to overcome all odds & adversities, courage and inspired by her love & attachment to her grandson. The old woman is an image of courage, she is over a hundred years of age, time has worn her out completely & has almost reduced her to a lump of bones, loosely clung together & she has lost almost all the senses. In this story, Miss Welty presents an extremely old woman as the main character, Welty takes us into old phoenix’s mind with great delicacy and discloses her firm dignity. ‘A worn Path’ is a beautiful short story extracted from Eudora Welty’s ‘A curtain of green & other stories’.
