In "A Good Man Is hard to Find," Flannery O'Conner really puts the reader in the middle class mode and throws a little religion at us. By this I mean that she takes us to an important part of her mind and soul. One could even say that she lets the Devil come out in her own little way.

In reading " A Good Man is Hard to Find," we find ourselves in a setting of a lower middle class family with a dominant mother, annoying grandmother and a whinny mother-in-law. I tend to believe that she is to be the main character. The grandmother is representative of godliness and Christianity. However just from this one story I get the feeling that she could be telling of the changes that took place in the US after W.W. II when violence began to grow rapidly. Women were coming home from the war, and men were demanding their voting rights. In the 50's crime was on everyone's mind, on television and in the moon. O'Connor's knew taht society was drastically changing for the worse, and she probably knew that one day we'd end with something liek the Internet with all its pornos. O'Connor's displeasure with society at the time could have been attributed to strong belief in God from a Catholic point of view

The killer's statements about his life especially his own father reflects he too was subject to religious questions. and the fact that the lifestyles of the southern whites were descending is evidence of society's "demise" is blended into the story, and presented through an interesting generation gap.

The gap to me is between the son, mother, kids and killer. The Son was a whimp and a momma's boy I could sense that from the start. The Son pays little attention to the grandmother and when he does he is often quite rude. I guess that is how his generation acted in those days and time.

OConner was trying to put the question of Religion to the reader. What has happened to the World ? It had become complicated. Here you have a dear old lady just trying to get her only son to take her where she wants to go. Consider the Christian idea of evil as opposed to a divine nation of the "good." The characters usually are acting from right intentions, but they end up attempting to inflict their ideas of what is "good" on those who don't agree them, those not so fortunate. She shows us h
