Dorothy Allison’s Bastard out of Carolina paints a colorful picture with words, showing what it was like to live in the south during the 1950’s. ...
In the beginning of the book, Mama is determined to get the stamp of “bastard” off of Bone’s, her daughter, birth certificate. ... Thus, labeling Bone a bastard to society and labeling herself inadvertently a lose woman. ... But by leaving the safety of her family she has put Bone at risk, because Glenn has much animosity towards her and with out the fear that the uncles have over Glenn, he is able to do as he pleases. ... The final action of giving the birth certificate (with out the bastard) stamp on it represents Mama’s freedom. Now that Bone is no longer considered a bastard it seems she feels that in return she has no reason to stay in Greenville county.
