Flannery O'Connor's 'A Good Man Is Hard To Find' / Evil And Christianity
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. On the surface, Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find appears innocent enough in its content. But as the reader becomes more and more involved in the underpinnings that embody the story, it is quite clear there is a distinctive flavor of evil versus Christianity. In fact, it has been argued that the extent to which O'Connor utilizes the central theme of Christianity is a subtle plot to convert her readers, whom she envisioned as nonbelievers. By demonstrating to her audience all the good that comes from faith, along with all the bad that merely begets more evil, it was her intention to enlighten her readership down the right path. The writer analyzes the concepts of good and evil as they relate to the story. No other sources used.
