Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find Essay - 1

Flannery OConnors A Good Man is Hard to Find - Essay frameworkThe Grandmother is very irritating woman. During the car ride, she lies about the di handssions of a house just to make it gruelling more interesting to the children. And when she realizes that the house shes been bragging about is not even in that state, she panics and kicks the cage holding the cat. She doesnt do that on purpose. She is annoying further she doesnt deserve to be conjecture three times in the chest. In fact she tries to make a connection with the Misfit during the confrontation and when she feels low-spirited for Misfit and about the way he has been treated totally his life, she tries to physically touch him and at that moment Misfits henchmen shoot the old woman.It is very true that many people only claim to be Christians but in the dealings of their lives, their behavior, their conduct and their daily conversations are devoid of the spirit of Christianity. The naan is blessed with a loving son bu t she is not thankful for it and doesnt actually care about him. In fact she treats him as a tool and takes advantage of his obedience. In the book, after the car accident Misfit and his men seize the family and they take family members in the woods and shoot them. Seeing her fate very clear the grandmother suddenly remembers God and Jesus and turns soft. She asks Misfit to pray so that his soul may be spared for the sins he has act all his life. A very religious and philosophical conversation takes place towards the end of the story amongst the Misfit and the Grandmother, where Misfit tries to mock Jesus by saying that he created a lot of confusion by raising dead people (in hidden words, he mocks the whole concept of heaven and hell and the day of judgment). To this, grandmother agrees somewhat by saying that probably he didnt raise the dead after all but when she gets shot in the chest, she falls down with her legs crossed in to her grave, representing her faith in a dramatic and symbolic way.Flannery
