* EsotericHappyEnding: O'Connor famously insisted that she was a writer of comedies. Yes, her protagonists have a habit of losing everything they ever thought they needed or valued—their possessions, their dignity, their self-image, even their lives. They may end up ridiculous, humiliated, wounded or dying ... but stripped of all false dignity, self-deception, and internal barricades, open at last to the [[GoodIsNotNice onslaught of God's grace]].

* ExecutiveMeddling: One of the only adaptations of her work O'Connor got to view first-hand in her lifetime was a dramatized version of the short story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" on CBS's ''Schlitz Playhouse''. Between the [[StuntCasting horrible miscasting]] of Creator/GeneKelly(!) as the lead, and the [[RevisedEnding revision of the ending]] to make it more palatable, it was a sure bet O'Connor would be mortified. "The best thing I can say is that it conceivably could have been worse," she wrote to a friend. "Just conceivably."
