The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never thought you but a good man, John - only somewhat bewildered” (55).

In the story he says “I’ve got something to tell you,” and also says “Go on, sit down” this to me sounds a bit harsh considering he didn’t say “please” or “may”. All of these variables : her shock at the news, the pregnancy she is going through and rough news, made her think of a life in ruin, which consequently lead her to a sudden frenzy. The third reason why Mary is a sane individual is because she was smart enough to plan a positive order of events to cover up her murder.

Apparently, these mysteries will forever remain unsolved. However, Arthur Miller surely knows how to deal with this controversy in his play The Crucible, through the characters of Elizabeth and Abigail. These completely opposite women serve as foils for each other since the differences between them help highlight their individual persona.

A Southern Lady in most people’s mind is a gentle, loving woman who has an amazing accent and loves her some Jesus. In “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, the Grandmother who thinks of herself in this way, is far from what others may consider a Southern Lady.
