The mystery of life appears to grow more difficult as long as people keep trying to explain why the most valuable things are so difficult to obtain. It doesn’t explain why precious metals like gold and silver, to name a few, are buried so deeply. There is no disputing this fact, which is why intellectual authors like Flannery O’Connor are helpful in validating it. She argues that what individuals truly mean by the phrase “good men” is the opposite of what they actually mean in her powerful masterpiece, A Good Man is Hard to Find.
According to audience members’ opinions, the play abuses the term ” a good man” and the concept of what makes a good man. The author brings up this issue on purpose to demonstrate that morality is a matter of perspective that varies from person to person and has no objective definition. Grandmother refers to males as “good men” at random times. She believed that men are good if, given the opportunity, what they do or are capable of doing agrees with her point of view, regardless of prevalent moral beliefs.
Most individuals would have love, admiration, and awe for elderly folks, especially considering their advanced age, wealth of experience, and acquired wisdom. This is true of grandparents, who are adored and cherished for the blessings, counsel, care, and empathy they have bestowed upon us. In the story, the grandmother is depicted as a person who is not close to her family in many ways. She frequently appears to be at odds with her family in this regard and is given no attention (O’Connor, 1962). The reader may wonder why an individual such as her is not loved by her family after giving this short narrative a closer look or reading. This may be because of another factor that the audience can infer from the way her character differs from those of the other characters.
