Flannery Oconnr In Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man is Hard to Find, the grandmother faces her death at the end of the story. Her death may come as a surprise to the reader, but a closer look at hints throughout the story shows that the death of the grandmother is evident and unavoidable. The Grandmother in A Good Man is Hard to Find does not want to take the trip to florida with the rest of the family. She is worried about the misfit that is on the loose and heading to flordia himself. Everyone ignores the Grandmothers notions excep for June Star. The fact that she admonishes Bailey, her son, of the misfit and “what he did to those people”(cite), foreshadows what is going to happen to them. O’Connor would not mention such an interesting fact without having it affect the characters later in the story. The morning of the trip the grandmother is the first one in the car as June star predicted, “she woulnt stay home for a million buck. She ahs to go everywhere”(cite). This si a direct foreshadow of the grandothers death.
