In the story “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” by Flannery O’Connor, the interior is more about the Grandmothers characteristics, and how she plays an important role in the story. The story’s interior is more based on her traits and actions in the passage. I think that a story’s “interior” is what it is mostly more than what it seems. I would compare it to an iceberg as how we only see so little, but if we were to look at the bottom of the ocean we would see so much for what it is. The Grandmother has a lot of negative characteristics as she is very racist and disrespectful. She shows her family that she is good and that nothing will happen, but then they end up being murdered. This is not a coincidence, it is on purpose, as she wanted all of it to happen. She tricked the family and is very selfish.

One thought on “Ainoon Khan Discussion 8”
The grandmother doesn’t admit to her wrong and I believe she doesn’t even think what she is doing is wrong. I like your comparison of an iceberg, she has many flaws and negativity in her. She considers herself morally superior to others passing on her judgment. Throughout the story, O’Connor gives us a better meaning of how the grandmother only cared about herself and how much pride she had. I do agree also with what you said about how tricky she was by ruining the family.
