    Both “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and “Shiloh” have the main symbol of a Nuclear family with similar characters like: the overbearing mother, the “Man of the House” or “Provider”, the desensitized mother, and the child/children that aren’t how they are supposed to be. In the prior, the children are shown as rude, spoiled and annoying. One could decide if this was to show how the American Dream could be unfulfilling in some way, or decide to shrug it off as a part of the American Dream that has to be accepted. In the latter however, the child character, although important, is not present. The death of Norma`s baby is actually an extremely strong factor for her and her husband’s separation, as well as the fact that her husband cannot provide

    In both short stories, “Cathedral” written by Raymond Carver and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” written by Flannery O’Connor, we encounter characters that have a limited perspective on life. We find that the unnamed narrator in “Cathedral” has a bias mindset towards the blind man, Robert before he even meets and gets to know him. While in “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the grandmother is ignorant of her surroundings while being oblivious to her own flaws. Both stories demonstrate the overcoming of blindness through prejudice and vanity to end up seeing something greater than themselves through the use of characterization, symbolism, and epiphanies. In “Cathedral,” the narrator’s wife invites her blind friend, Robert, to stay in their home

One common idea happens to be that their is a main antagonist or predator, who seem to attack/prey on the women. In each story, it shows that there was a part where each woman took time to talk to these men who were controlling the situation and deceiving the women, using violence to kill the poor innocent women.
