The story is a woman named Weatherall, a dead grandmother. She was surrounded by friends and family, so she remembered her life. She explained that she was abandoned many times in her life, first at her husband, and at the end she died. The story finally became director of Randa Haynes. One of the theme of the story is self-compassion.

By repeating similarities between each story of Eudora Welty, A Worn Path, and Katherine Anne Porter, the Jilting of The Granny Weatherall became more prominent. Both stories are about women with different ethnic and social status; however, these two stories intertwine themes of betrayal, religious, death and personal travel. Phoenix Jackson appeared as a character with extraordinary motivation in "wear road". Not only is she an elderly, blind, black woman, she is getting medicines for sick grandchildren through winding terrain, but she is a symbol of poverty and selflessness.

At Catherine Anne Potter's "Grandma Weatherall's Jilting", persistence of grandma and her brave occupational ethics helped her through the times of exquisite and weakness. Granny's thought movement from the past light to the present darkness is the instantiation of the author's brightness and darkness. Her past life is clear to her, and the current event is ambiguous and mixed with past memories. The light she finally blows reflects her life, and she will fall now in the shadows of death.

Catherine Anne Potter's short story "Grandma Weatherall's Jilting" explains the last thoughts, emotions, and memories of elderly women. The importance of the title of the story becomes obvious as the life of the grandmother Weatherall "blinks" in front of her eyes. Grandma Weatherall deceives or disappoints every love relationship in her life to some extent. Her past lover George, husband John, daughter Cornelia and God were unfair to what Porter called "j ..". This endless cycle of errors makes grandma face the mixture of strength, bitterness and ultimate fear at the last moment of life.
