Greed Greed Greed

The Moment: "He wanted to see a paved highway in front of his house with plenty of new-model cars on it, he wanted to see a supermarket store across the road from, he wanted to see a gas station, a motel, a drive-in picture show within easy distance...There was talk of an eventual town. He thought this should be called Fortune, Georiga."

In "A View of the Woods", O' Connor presents a rather nasty old man by the name of Mark Fortune who is in every sense of the word guilty of the sin of greed. He craves money and from the above moment, status and wealth. He is very uncharitable to even his own flesh and blood except that of the youngest daughter who is a younger female version of himself in appearance. Extending this view of him symbolizing Greed he "marks" plots  that will bring him money or "fortune" and irritate his son-in-law. As he extends this greed, the natural pure landscape around the home is destroyed and devoured and in a mark of pure malice he intends to sell the very lot in front of the home. However this original sin gets a hold of him fully by then and in the end he destroys the only earthly thing he actually cared for, his granddaughter only a child. In the fight the granddaughter could be seen as symbolic of pure wild nature trying to fight against that of the greedy force of the grandfather that is threatening the sanctuary of the landscape and the granddaughter's home.

Question: The author uses many symbols of religion in this story, what other examples are there? What else could Mary represent?
