I can’t help but bring the Elder’s words to mind. A single voice silences all whispering, “What’s this commotion?” I look to my left and right, unsure of the owner.

grandmother and the Misfit are the most, similar characters in Flannery O’Connor’s story “A good man is hard to find”. I see that these characters are more different than, they are alike. The Misfit and the grandmother share many similarities and differences. I believe that The Misfit and grandmother are the opposite because the grandmother sees herself as a lady and the Misfit believes he is “Not a good man” (576). Another, a difference they have is the grandmother believes in god but, the…
