A Good Man is Hard to Find

I just read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. It is a short story that aims to define what it is to be a good person. I really liked this story because of it's descriptive details and funny lines. I was very surprised at the end though. I am still not sure what to think of the Misfit, one of the central characters. The Misfit murdered the Grandmother, another main character, and her family. When I first read it I thought the Grandmother was definitely good and pure, but by the end it was a little more complicated than that. After all, she is pretty rude and only sees flaws in other people, but that doesn't mean the Misfit should have killed her. The grandmother doesn't realize that she is not perfect, but the Misfit knows he isn't. There is a lot of significance in the title because the whole story has an underlying meaning of determined who is "good". It is hard to find a good man because as good as the Grandmother seemed, she was somewhat self centered and rude. The Misfit clearly wasn't good, because of murder, but he seemed wiser and more understanding. The grandmother made racey jokes and rude remarks with her family, she never seemed kind. She may have been lovable like any Grandmother, but not enough for O'Connor to consider her "good"
