The story “Flowering Judas” by American writer, Katherine Anne Porter, is the story of the revolutionary leader Braggioni, who cynically manipulates his associates, while he himself enjoys his prosperity and power.
The title of the story is the name of the tree on which Judas hung himself, and it contains a bitter allusion to the dubiousness of all revolutions, including religious revolutions.
According to the author, everything that seems progressive, indisputable, extremely necessary for improving the life of mankind, upon closer examination, turns out to be distorted and destructive.
