It’s Hard to be a Good Person.
In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O'Connor it’s very easy to imagine the story taking place. O’Connor paints the picture with descriptive dialog, but allows the reader to paint it. She tells us broad descriptions of the scenery and the characters, allowing the reader to imagine something or someone to fit the story. In a way she creates ambiguous characters like that.
By not describing each character in explicit detail, she creates the characters to be almost hazy, or unclear, just like their motives and morality. O’Connor shows us the perfect, cranky old lady stereotype. The grandmother is manipulative, whiny, impatient, and sees herself
