Conclusion
Here are two interesting and thought-provoking comments grabbed from the topic about “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and its writer, O 'Connor.
“If you think you have something to rub shoulders with God and empathize with others, then O 'Connor's slap is waiting for you on the cheek.” (A reader's comment)

A Holistic Analysis of A Good Man is Hard to Find


“O 'Connor keeps her short stories airtight, revealing an air of gloom and despair everywhere. Under the banner of southern Gothic novels, she seems to push the theme of religion to another level that is difficult to reach. None of her subjects really deserve sympathy and pity, not because life has forced them so badly, but because human nature is so.” (A reader's comment)
At the first sight of A Good Man is Hard to Find, those cold, dark, deep words shocked me with a kind of irresistible power. I love reading and dream of an opportunity that in a sunny afternoon I could lie in a rocking chair with a bowl of chilled watermelon next to it, while reading ecstatically. However, if the book I hold is out of O 'Connor, there must be dense dark clouds, even heavy rain hovering over my heart, which makes me feel a pity for such a lovely day, but it is worth a complete win for O 'Connor, because her motivation is just to throw you into embarrassment and horror and force you to self-reflect.
