A Good Man Is Hard To find

The title itself caused prejudice upon my mind on the theme of the story . I have been expecting , from the very beginning , the idea that indeed a good man is hard to find ' theme would be all throughout the story . Indeed my insights were correct . The reasons why my perceptions have stayed intact and have not been swayed can be attributed to the way

br the story itself have progressed . In fact , at the start , I never had the faintest idea how and why Flannery O 'Connor gave such title to her story . With the presence of the wicked grandmother ' in the story as I may say , I have drawn conclusions on how humanity or a person can really be bad

In the story , I have observed the absence of heavenly guidance on the characters , especially to the old woman , the grandmother . In her alone I have imagined the reality of an evil act and evil 's existence Moreover , I have learned that in many occasions , human beings cannot really make better decisions and how their thinking can be influenced by the things they believe and by their ambitions : materialism . I have seen this specific situation when the old woman believed that nicely dressed men are better and good-hearted than those that are haggard looking and dirty ones

Moreover , I can see the bulging ego of the characters and how material world have influenced the lives of humanity in general . I see egocentricities and heavy pride in the old woman as well in the dominant hard character of the son . In the presence of the Misfit , I have perceived lack of respect and a strong absence of beliefs to the supreme being

Again , a good man is in fact difficult to find . Man is generally evil proud , materialistic and lost . Only with God 's grace and guidance they can be led in a correct pathway of life . In the story , these ideas were emphasized making me stay with my thoughts regarding the story . As the grandmother and the Misfit found something uncommon , it was actually not as uncommon as they have thought . It was sin and suffering in life Certainly the grandmother would have been a good woman . if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life
