A Good Man Is Hard To Find is about a family that takes a trip and gets lost on an accidental side trip where they HAVE AN ACCIDENT and run into some creeper people who stop to ‘help’ them.
Who is The Misfit?
Why is it so important to the grandma that they go to see this house?
Are people inherently good?
The theme of this story, although it is not crystal clear, is regret. To me I felt that every character was regretting something. The father was regretting bringing his mother along on the trip. The mother is regretting the way she raised her kids because of their manners. The grandmother is regretting telling them the house was in Georgia. The Misfit is regretting his passed life that he can’t seem to remember, and is even regretting that he can’t remember.
This is probably the most creeper story ever. It starts out nice and pretty with a little family going on a car trip with their grandmother. They don’t really like their grandmother because she thinks she knows what is best for everyone, but really has no idea what is happening in reality. Then they go down a dirt road because grandma said too and they crash their car and then The Misfit shows up and kills them all. There is no reason for him to kill them all, but he does because he thinks that if he has done one bad thing he should just continue to be a bad person.
The grandmother tells him that he is a good person and he is capable of good things because he comes from a good family. I think this is what makes The Misfit so angry. He doesn’t associate being a good person with coming from a good family. He associates his family with being a bad person. I think because he came from a good family, when he did something bad in the first place, they weren’t too fond of him after that, so he dislikes families now, and decides to kills this sorry family. He is most frightened when she touches him. He is afraid of affection, and his reaction is to shoot her.
