Literature Review: Compare and Contrast

On the other hand, the grandmother of "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is a conventionally
religious woman. 

It can be proven in her words when she begged the Misfit to make her alive. She denies the divinity of Christ because of the gun. She also thinks that she and all her ethical system is very good. She loves to pay more attention to her style. She always wants everyone to
know that she is a lady.

"In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on
the highway would know at once that she was a lady". (O'connor, 1971, p.118)

She has a very big self-centered life. It makes she has a conclusion that all the problems are because of the others. 

She lives with lies toward Christ because she does not want to not consider as a lady.

These two selected stories of Flannery O'connor are very interesting. How the lead characters got the things for their bad deeds. The two lead female characters are very selfish.

They think that they always right. 

Therefore they do anything towards the others as they want.

They become racist toward other people. 

However, Mrs. Mclntyre openly admitted that she does not believe in God, while the grandmother as the lady wants to shows that she is a good
Christian. At the end of these stories, the female lead characters acknowledge their bad habit even though it is too late.
