I think Flannery O'Connor's short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is written partly to “convert” people who have not yet fully accepted the Christian faith faith. O'Conner, being a strong believer in Christianity herself, probably thought that writing this story would help people who don't truly live by Christian rules to seriously consider doing so. Flannery O'Connor was deeply interested in the values ​​and direction of the youth of the time. He believed that Christ was no longer a sufficient priority for people of his generation. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is representative of Flannery O'Connor's interest in the priorities and values ​​of the 1940s. An example of this, in "A Good Man is Hard to Find", involves the grandmother's strong Southern heritage. She dresses with the intention that anyone who finds her dead on the street will know that she was a lady, and she always tells stories of Southern gentlemen courting her. Then, the Misfit, who she "knows" is of quality, Southern blood, shoots her and her family, despite her belief in Southern hospitality. Grandma is a woman who believes in God, but it seems that her faith isn't very strong until confronting the Misfit. From what I understand, most of his works follow a similar pattern. The main characters get into some kind of trouble and eventually see “the light” of God's ways and get their redemption. Christians have often criticized her works as immoral, but in reality she uses these extreme situations and representations to express the power of God in a positive light. The immoral character of the Misfit is portrayed with great skill, as is the "enlightened" character of the Grandmother. Most of the characters in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and, probably in his other works, go through some sort of metamorphosis, a change in their worldview and in their perception of life and death. The character in this particular story is the Grandmother and, in my opinion, the Misfit. I think the Misfit is constantly experiencing a deep internal struggle and this is revealed in his conversation with Grandma. Of course, O'Conner's skillful portrayal helps the reader detect some obscure details of the Misfits' behavior, which are key elements in determining the Misfit's state of mind..
