For one, he is a misfit and an outsider, never quite fitting in our cookie cutter society. His case is quite peculiar in the fact that he can not be simply written off as crazy. It would be simple to put a label on him and be done with it, but why not delve deeper into this and give a more precise…

A Good Man is Hard to Find questions the true qualities of human nature and sends readers messages that are most likely ignored and almost never uttered out loud. From this cynical…

Clearly, the narrator is yet inexperienced in the craft of love as he himself admits to have learn about it only from his study: For although I know not Love indeed Nor know how he pays his folk their hire, Yet full oft it happens in books I read Of his miracles and his cruel ire.…
