HELLO,
So,I do feel like I would have missed some things from the story if I didn’t read the essay which was the Activity 1 that professor make us read in the starting of the class to clear us the story more.Firstly,the essay delves into the Misfit’s character, revealing him as a symbolic representation of the South’s conflicted religious identity, adding layers of philosophical tension to his menacing nature. Secondly, O’Connor’s exploration of religious themes contrasts the grandmother’s superficial faith with the Misfit’s intricate theological ponderings, enriching the narrative’s exploration of morality and redemption. Additionally, the article analysis of symbolism, such as the grandmother’s hat symbolizing misplaced values, and literary techniques like foreshadowing and irony, accentuates the story’s suspenseful climax. Although I would not have understand the story better until I have read the article it helps me alot in understanding the story well.

Hello,
That’s a great analysis because I didn’t even think too much of foreshadowing in the story. I agree, the article really helped deepen my understanding of the story. It’s fascinating how O’Connor used the Misfit to represent the South’s religious conflict, adding such depth to his character in contrast to the grandmother.
The contrast between the grandmother’s superficial/surface level faith and the Misfit’s complex thoughts really highlights the story’s exploration of morality.
