In Flannery O’Connor’s Greenleaf, the Greenleaf twins, O.T. and E.T., are different in many ways than Mrs. May’s sons. O.T. and E.T. are hard farm workers; in contrast, Mrs. May’s sons have no desire to farm, but work as an insurance salesman and an intellectual. O’Connor specifically made these characters different to show two types of society: upper and lower class. O.T. and E.T. are the understatement of twins because they practically have the same life. The twins both married a French woman in the midst of the war; however, both being injured they came home to go to agricultural school. After they finished school, they began to work on a fortunate and prosperous dairy farm. They are willing to help their family out no matter the difficulty.
