A Good Man Is Hard To Find A Good Man Is Hard To Find A Good Man is Hard to Find Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man is Hard to Find is filled with foreshadowing which the first time reader will not grasp, but leaps out of the pages for repeated readers. When first read, A Good Man is Hard to Find, the reader does not value the importance of the grandmother charter and her warning. She is thought to just be a rambling, nagging old lady. Even the grandmother does not realize the importance of what she is saying. The grandmother warns of the misfit in the first paragraph of the novel, “’Here this fellow calls himself the Misfit is loose from the federal pen and headed toward Florida and you read here what it says he did to these people.”’ The first time reader simply sees this warning as the grandmother trying to persuade her son to change the vacation plans to better suit the grandmother’s wants. Continuing thru the story the first time reader sees the grandmother as a not very smart woman, and she really is not very smart. She proves this by leading her family on a wild goose chase, looking for a house reader, grandmother, misfit, family, time, first, read, warning, thought, novel, deaths, very, man, hard, good, find, second, foreshadowing, family’s, ever, ways, warns, story, smart, simply, several, sees, run, road, plans, pages, o’connor, old, leaps, just, importance
