Two themes that are explored in the story "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" are the themes of the usefulness of denial and the importance of self-knowledge.
In terms of the usefulness of denial, we see that one of the reasons why Granny Weatherall has been able to get through her life is because she clearly denies her situation, as well as many aspects of her life in the past. The most obvious example is that of her "jilting." It is clear that Granny Weatherall never got over the fact that she got left at the altar. However, instead of accepting this, she has deceived herself her whole life by pretending she does not care.
Another theme in the story is that of self-knowledge. We see that Granny Weatherall does not know herself, and therefore, has no understanding of how others perceive her. An example of this is the relationship with her children. We see that she is mean to them, and that their relationship is clearly strained. However, she refuses to see this, which makes her unable to apologize or to fix the situation in any way.
You have taken me prisoner with all my warriors. I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered. I tried hard to bring you into ambush, but your last general understands Indian fighting. The first one was not so wise. When I saw that I could not beat you by Indian fighting, I determined to rush on you, and fight you face to face. I fought hard. But your guns were well aimed. The bullets flew like birds in the air, and whizzed by our ears like the wind through the trees in the winter. My warriors fell around me; it began to look dismal. I saw my evil day at hand.
