A_Good_Man_Is_Hard_to_Find

A Good Man Is Hard to Find A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND The setting of the story, ”A Good Man is Hard to Find,” shows us how much tragedy can change a person. The Grandmother thinks of herself as a very upright lady, yet she is a racist and snotty woman who changes completely during the last minutes of her life. The reader can sense that transition at the end of the story. In the beginning of the story, the Grandmother tries to change her son’s mind about going to Florida because she wants to go to Tennessee, and that gives us a sign of how persuasive she can be. She compares herself to her daughter-in-law, insinuating that the daughter-in-law is not a lady like her. She judges “the children’s mother’s” clothes and judges many others who are socially challenged or less fortunate than she is. Note that when she mentions the Misfit criminal who escaped from prison, the “pickaninny,” and when she mentions the two cents in Red Sammy’s cash register with a tone of irony on her voice. Her attitude changes compl! etely when the family’s car flips over on the way to the house with the six white columns.
