Pinkston 1 Dylan Pinkston English Literature 1123 David Burton 4-16-07 Annotated Bibliography Persons, Josh. “A Good Man is Hard to Find.” 12 Nov. 2001. Everything2. 7 Apr. 2007. This article sums up the plotline in the story and also lays the foundation for viewing the characters and situations in the story on a more divine level of interpretation. It states that The Misfit can be seen as Satan for his horrible deeds and his obsession with Jesus Christ. It also implies that the grandmother could be symbolic of all humanity, thus saying that all of us are no different from Satan except in the level of evil in our actions. This article has several good quotes from the story and also demonstrates a good point on the divine symbolism given to the characters in the story. I believe the symbolism implied is legitimately interpretable given the circumstances and characters. It is very likely that this is exactly what Flannery O’Connor was trying to get across. This article also opened up a new idea to me; the possibility of the grandmother representing all humanity gives a slightly more understandable way to interpret her last words. Pence, Katie. “The Paradox of the Grotesque and Grace in Flannery O’Connor’s ‘A Good Man is Hard to Find’: A Casebook Study.” Concordia College – Moorhead Minnesota. 7 Apr. 2007.
Pinkston 2 This article describes O’Connor’s use of violence and the grotesque to both attract readers’ attention and convey a theme of religion and grace. She is seen to be viewed as a very prominent religious author who makes great underlying points by some, and others actually view her work as blasphemous due to the use of violence and a harsh reality. It shows that her use of highly religious aspects forced into the cruel, real world is exactly how God works and is truly in our lives, not in a pretty, idealistic world, but in the one that is all around us with all its gruesomeness and beauty. This was very good at bringing together several different ways to view the story and Flannery O’Connor’s writing style. I couldn’t believe someone could actually see her use of symbols and real-world brutality as something sacrilegious, especially when the author’s beliefs are quite well known and plainly displayed. This helped me more thoroughly understand her use of the grotesque reality, which I so enjoyed reading about, as a way to even more effectively convey her themes than I originally saw.
