There were multiple ideas that I found in ‘A Good Man Is Hard To Find’ by Flannery O’Connor that I may have missed if I didn’t read the article. At first, judging by the title, I expected this story to be somewhat of a cliche. Loosely based on love and romance, however it couldn’t be any further. Throughout the story, there was more drama than anything, until the end. The article did a great job in explaining the suspense that was created throughout the story and the realizations is crafted. Another idea that could’ve been easily missed has I not read the article was the deeper analysis of the Grandmother. In O’connor’s story, she is portrayed as being manipulative and selfishness. However, in the article the grandmother’s final act of kindness emphasizes the author’s use of irony. This insight further deepens the meaning of the story. Without reading the article, I might’ve missed some of the story’s theme such as redemption and selflessness in unexpected moments.
