The concept of being a "good" person has painted the picture of how people have managed their lives throughout the 'history. Along the same lines, this concept has also been the subject of much debate; this is the case in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor. The protagonist, the unnamed grandmother, struggles to find the “good” in others and in herself. O'Conner uses foreshadowing, characterization, and a distinct point of view to make his point. In my interpretation, his point is that only through conflict and turmoil can one truly find good. The first time I looked at the story, I only did so because it was assigned to me as homework. I eventually found myself reading quickly and not actively reading at all. However, I ended up wondering whether or not “good” would outweigh “bad”. My burning curiosity and natural need for information were not satisfied by my initial mediocre reading. After further and much more active reading, I discovered that Flannery O'Conner uses wonderful foreshadowing throughout the story to foretell the ultimate demise of the grandmother and her family. The first foreshadowing I'd like to talk about is when June Star says, "she would." I’m not staying home for a million dollars”… “I was afraid she was going to miss something. It has to go everywhere we go.” This statement is linked to the fact that the grandmother follows the family until death. The second example of foreshadowing that really caught my attention was the passage "they passed a large cotton field with five or six fenced-in graves in the middle of the cotton field." he." In the story, John Wesley and June Star both find the graves interesting. I also find it thought-provoking because the six graves correspond exactly to the six members ... middle of paper ... at the death of his grandmother. And changing perspective at the end was the only option Although the grandmother dies at the end, O'Connor's use of foreshadowing, characterization, and a distinct point of view resonated with me. leads one to believe that this is the beginning of a different life for The Misfit After killing the grandmother, The Misfit immediately begins to clean his glasses, a sign that he sees the world in a different way. , he thought that there was only pleasure in cruelty. Finally, the Misfit decided: "That's no real pleasure in life." He had wanted to see Jesus resurrect the dead more than anything, and. The Misfit finally got his wish; the grandmother had last-minute relief from her unbearable pomp and then died, presumably redeemed. And the Misfit finds a glimpse of human empathy and compassion from the last woman we could have expected it from..
