Authors of all ages use symbolism to communicate an underlying deeper meaning to their audience. This is the case in O’Connor’s “A good man is hard to find” where the author gives a hidden meaning to grandmother’s hat, the automobile, and the sky. This paper aims at exploring the use f these three symbols in the novel “A good man is hard to find” by Flannery O’Connor.
Grandmother’s hat points out her misinterpretation of moral standards. She fears the possibility of an accident occurring during the trip, and she only wishes t be viewed as a lady when she dies through the hat she wears. This is misinterpreted because a lady should care more about the welfare of her family rather than a mere title. She does not bear a thought for her children
