A Good Man Is Hard To Find

In a “A Good Man Is Hard To Find,” the plot completely shocks me and takes me by surprise. To start off, the children and the baby die, which was completely tragic. I do not know what it is, but I do not condone children being killed in movies, books, or other forms of media. When Hiram and Bobby Lee took Bailey and John Wesley into the woods, I knew they were either going to perish at the hands of the two individuals or Hiram and Bobby Lee were going to kill Bailey in front of his son for mere pleasure. Then, the children’s mother, June Star, and the baby were also taken into the woods and the three shots and a scream were heard by the grandmother. I was expecting for the Misfit to let the grandmother go free because it initially seemed that the Misfit was opening up to her, but she ended up being shot three times in the chest. Overall, who kills a baby and two children and their parents? I did not think the five of them would end up being shot to death. I was expecting the grandmother to die, since it was her fault they were all murdered. If the grandmother would have kept her mouth silent and also remembered on time that the old plantation house was actually in Tennessee and not in Georgia in the beginning, none of that would have happened. Also, if she had not brought her cat along just as his son asked, she would be alive and so would her grandchildren, son, and daughter-in-law. The grandmother continuously attempted to convince The Misfit to reconsider his actions and that he was actually a good person, but her attempts proved to be useless. In truth, the grandmother is the one who is actually responsible for the entire family's death. I describe the grandmother's actions as uncaring, immoral, and horrible. Some films by the Coen Brothers, such as No Country For Old Men, A Serious Man, and The Ladykillers can be considered to be influenced by Flannery O'Connor. Each of their respective works contain large amounts of similarities. Both Coen Brothers' films and O'Connor's writings have examples of drama, suspense, irony, and tragedy. Settings for each of their works are also similar since the Coen Brothers and O'Connor place their stories in rural, Southern settings.
