Having read A Good Man Is Hard to Find, I feel that the inner meaning of the story is deeper than just the surface-level suspense of meeting misfits. The most important element that I saw in the internal sense of the story is Grandma’s hypocrisy. Her supposed moral superiority and “goodness” are undermined by her racism, manipulation, and self-centeredness. She claims to be a good Christian, but are her actions fulfilling her ideals? It’s hard to imagine that happening. And in another, the superficiality of modern life, O’Connor affirms the banal, unreflective nature of family road trips. Their conversations and concerns are nothing compared to the life-or-death crisis they will soon face. I can’t tell you everything, but to summarize briefly, it’s not just a suspenseful plot, but it has an inner meaning in tackling deep themes such as morality, human nature, good and evil, and the randomness of life. I think you can understand that.

I can agree that an inner meaning when it comes to theme can be, good and evil. Through the story there’s a parts where you had to also tell through the different personalities if they can be seen as good or bad/ evil.
Carizma, please see “How Discussion Boards Are Graded” in COURSE INFORMATION. It’s not enough to just agree with another student, even though that is very friendly.
I agree with you. The story goes beyond just the exciting plot of meeting the Misfit. It shows the grandmother’s hypocrisy – how she says she’s good but acts in selfish and racist ways. The story also highlights how people can be shallow in their everyday lives, not realizing the serious situations they might face. It’s not just about suspense; it’s about important things like what’s right and wrong, how people behave, and how life can be unpredictable.
I agree that the story theme is between good and evil. There are many instances where we see the differences between good and evil.
Marlon, you can’t get credit for just agreeing with someone else in a 2-sentence response.
