A good man is hard to find
The story "A Good man is hard to find" is mainly focused on prejudice and intolerant Grandmother. Who believes that people of good character are bred by "good families", and she's self-righteous enough to believe she, of course, comes from a good family. This attitude gets her whole family killed as well as herself. She has spent her life concerned with only what she wanted, never thinking of what others needed. This all changes when the Misfit sticks the gun in her face. Its to bad that she was a little to late to be graceful.

Was she graceful? Right track so far about grandmother's character. This is getting to the conflict. Think of the grandmother and Misfit as representing a clash of worldviews--or the Misfit's as hollowing out the grandmother's; think of the grandmother as perhaps the real "misfit."
wow, thanks so much for writing this, because you gave me a different way of looking at the story.
