While pleading for her life, grandmother experiences a moment of grace as she realizes that she and the Misfit are both human being as she exclaims, “Why you’re one of my babies.

Finding the balance between good and bad is hard to find in both stories. The writer seem to focus on tragedy more than happiness. Both stories intrigued the reader and showed different ways humans show their characters. On A Good Man is Hard to find, the characters seem like a typical modern family.
By not encouraging people to use their intelligence correctly, humans have transformed intelligent people into selfish individuals. Fannery O 'Connor is characterized for using satire to criticize people’s behaviors; therefore it is not a surprise that in his book "A good Man Is Hard to Find" he says that most likely, intelligence is a factor for becoming a terrible person. She shows it in the character the Misfit, and reinforces it by comparing him to the grandmother.
Finally, the redeeming of grace takes place for the Misfit and the grandmother. The grandmother was able to get through to the Misfit before he killed her (O’Connor 294). She wanted to make sure she cared about someone other than herself and change her ways before she died. The grandmother also wanted to make sure she did what God asked for her to do.

The talk the grandmother and The Misfit have between them is mainly about religion, and what was done in the past, the talk leads to the grandmother having sympathy for him. The grandmothers moment of grace causes a terrible reaction from The Misfit. After The Misfit kills the grandmother he says “It’s no real pleasure in life,” which I think shows that the grandmother may have had some kind of impact on him in there discussion. In the final moments of life, redemption could always be reached.
