The concept of being a “good” person has painted the picture of how people have managed their lives throughout history. Likewise, this concept has also been the subject of much debate; such is the case with “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O'Connor. The protagonist, the nameless 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 good be truly found. The first time I watched the story I only did so because it was assigned to me as homework. I eventually found myself speed reading and not actively reading in any way. Eventually, however, I began to wonder whether or not “good” would prevail over “evil.” My burning curiosity and natural need for information were not satisfied by my initial poor reading. After a closer and much more active reading, I discovered that Flannery O'Conner uses wonderful foreshadowing throughout the story to predict the ultimate death of the grandmother and her family. The first foreshadowing I'd like to talk about is when June Star says "he wouldn't." I won't stay home for a million dollars”… “Afraid she would miss something. It has to go wherever we go." This statement is connected to the fact that the grandmother follows the family until her death. The second example of premonition that most caught my attention was in the passage "they passed a great cotton field with five or six graves fenced in the middle of it." In the story, John Wesley and June Star both find the graves interesting. I find also stimulating the reason why the six graves are exactly related to the six members... in the center of the sheet... to the death of the grandmother. And changing perspective in the end was the only option. Even if the grandmother dies in the end, l 'use of foreshadowing, characterization and a distinct point of view from O'Connor leads me to believe that this is the beginning of a different life for The Misfit After killing the grandmother, the Misfit immediately begins cleaning his glasses, a sign that he sees the world in a different way. He had initially thought there was no pleasure in anything but cruelty, eventually the Misfit decides "There is no real pleasure in life." He had wanted to see Jesus resurrect the dead more than anything, and the Misfit he finally got his wish; the grandmother got last-minute relief from her unbearable pomposity and then died, presumably redeemed. And the Misfit finds a glimmer of human empathy and compassion in the last woman we would expect such a thing from.
