in Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” the story is about the crash of the surface and the profound, as well as the theme of grace and redemption. On the surface, it’s a story of a family’s unfortunate road trip and their encounter with a criminal, The Misfit. However, the deeper meaning explores the characters’ moral and spiritual aspects, their capacity for change, and the possibility of divine intervention, which creates a sense of suspense not just in the plot but in the characters’ internal struggles. I feel the true suspense in the story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor lies in the internal struggles and transformation making the story a profound exploration of the depth of human experiences.

Hello, Angel. I agree with your analysis on “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”. O’Connor is able to create a suspenseful story with lots of depth and character, all while having her readers on the edge of their seat. I noticed while reading this story I was never really bored or felt like the plot was moving too slow. I think that shows just how skillful the author is at creating suspense.
