In the story “Greenleaf” the main character; Mrs. May is a mean old women who is tired of working because she just knows that the work she does will not be used in the future. She is also mean because the people around her are very self-centered. Also the bull in the story might represent the Mr. May when he is not there, like when Ms. May always thinks of him saying something like; "If it had been my boys," he would have said, "they would have cut off their right arm before they would have allowed their maw to . . . .".
