While reading “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” one idea that stood out to me was the topic of redemption. The grandmother’s character arc, mainly, highlights the possibility for alternate and increase even in the face of drawing close chance. At first glance, she seems to be a shallow, self-focused person who’s most effective worried with her personal comfort and dreams. However, as the story progresses and she faces the threat of dying at the hands of The Misfit, we see her go through different phases. She tries to attraction to his humanity and indicates compassion in the direction of him in his final moments. This surprising display of empathy reveals that there is more intensity to her person than initially meets the attention and demanding situations our preconceived notions about who can be deemed “desirable” or “bad.” This exploration of redemption provides a sense in hope while reading this story.
