Through Hulga’s daily life there is much christian redemption seen. She lives her life as if she cares nothing of what anyone else thinks. Eventually Hulga met a boy who considered himself as christian. She starts to love him more and more but sh never will say it either. In a way Hulga’s non-believing led to her demise because the christian man she fell in love with took her leg while they were in the barn. Because she was not a believer this was coming to her for not believing.
