Although she ended failure, Frankie has never give up, and came out from the shadow very quickly, and began her new plan and new life.Second, everybody in the lonely world is looking for a person who can help them and share life with. Although McCullers's people persist a searching without anyone else, they still try so hard to attain a kind of balance with satisfactory. Certainly, in addition to this "selfish" paying out, McCullers also gave us an unselfish paying out, this may not result well, and its influence maybe not big, it still brings silk warmth to people's heart.
