Why The Misfit: Is It Important To Be The Grandmother's Son?

184 Words1 Page

Evan, I have to agree that this was a very interesting story; however, I found the story to be a bit disturbing. It reminded me of a Steven King novel and/or movie. I was in shock at the ending when the misfit took even the baby, children, and grandmother’s lives. They were of no danger to him or his accomplishes as maybe the father may have been, but probably not being three of them. Also, in this story did you get the strong feeling that the misfit may have actually been the grandmother’s son? One that she turned away from years prior. This story line leads this direction and her selfish ways may have been the reason he felt the need to kill her in the end. Realizing she was his mother and still selfish enough to not care about anyone else’s

    There were awkward wording throughout, and made it a little difficult to read. The extra names and dates that appeared throughout, sort of threw me on tangents and made it less understandable. I felt that at sometimes I was being thrown random facts in the most awkward moments but were all related to the story. Wexler shows that a lot of research went into this story long after it happened and does a great job remaining

    This causes the readers to realize she has had a “moment of grace” in her life. She says to him, “Why you’re one of my babies. You’re one of my own children” (O’ Conner 413). The Grandmother has a moment in which she sees the Misfit as a regular human being who is only a bad person because he has gone through a lot of pain and suffering. As soon as the Grandmother touches the Misfit he is shocked by her actions and her words to the point to where he shoots her three times in the chest.

    The character of the Misfit is talked about multiple times in the story before the Misfit actually appears. The grandmother reads from the local paper that the criminal, the Misfit, is loose from federal prison (O’ Connor). I find this ironic because the grandmother and her family are found by the Misfit after they put their car in the ditch. The Misfit says to the grandmother, “I ain’t a good man, but I ain’t the worst in the world neither. I been in the arm service, both land and sea, and been twict married.”

    So, when reading the story initially I was left with the impression that The Misfit was least sympathetic because he just killed an entire family forcing the grandmother to come to terms with their death before killing her off. As blunt and brutal as this situation is, it is also the most symbolic as the true villain of Poe's story is actually the grandmother. For instance, the grandmother constantly insists that The Misfit must be a good man, "I know you're a good man" (O' Connor 504) and "I just know you're a good man" (O'Connor 505). Moreover, instances of the grandmother claiming that if The Misfit pray, Jesus will guide him, while she herself never does it and simply goes on to say in a cursing manner, "Jesus, Jesus" (O'Connor 507) insinuating The Misfit needs the saving. O'Connor cleverly implies this as the grandmother being sympathizing with his past, all the while her tone is almost becoming forcing, as a means of psychological attack.

    “…the house she had remembered so vividly was not in Georgia but in Tennessee” (145). Because of her, the whole family died, she brought the cat causing the wreck, and she made him go down a road leading to god knows where. The Misfit is also a bizarre character with his willingness to kill attitude and the lack of remorse for doing it. “… he put his gun down on the ground and took off his glasses and began to clean them.”(152). He doesn’t even think of what he has done as being wrong, he just goes about his business.

His other main role in the story is to be the irresponsible son, the grandmother anger is constantly trying to avoid through careful manipulation. Grandmother makes odd decisions (brings the cat, dresses nice for a car accident).She believes she can out talk The Misfit and convince him not to kill her. Also, she doesn’t plead for anyone else’s life (selfish).She could’ve been good if she had a gun to her at all times (Misfit quote). The first thing that I learn about her is that she doesn 't want to go to Florida because she 's got relatives to see in Tennessee.

    An urban legend, as defined by the Merriam –Webster dictionary, is an often a lurid story that is based on hearsay and widely circulated as true. According to Nicholas DiFonzo, a renowned author and psychology professor, urban legends are “narratives about strange, funny, or horrible events that could have happened, the details of which change to fit particular locales and time periods, and which frequently contain a moral lesson.” The stories are entertaining, include cultural references, and convey people’s anxieties about certain topics. While some consider urban legends as myths with a possibility of truth in it, these tales evolve to suit the common themes of the time.

  • Gender Roles In A Good Man Is Hard To Find

    Viewing The Misfit as a tragic figure, we sympathize with his actions and feel remorse for who he has become. The readers see him as a victim and sympathize for his actions, including killing the elderly Grandmother. Although he is an awful person, because he is a male character, it is acceptable for him to have issues, but it is not acceptable for a woman to have any sort of issue. As the Misfits says, “She would have been a good woman...if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life” (O’Connor), this suggests that the Grandmother was an awfully annoying woman, but if she had a man there to keep her in line, she would have been a decent

    The violence that we do not get to see for ourselves are the crimes the Misfit committed before the story began. The story begins with the grandmother telling Bailey to “read here what it says he did to these people’” (O’Connor 575). These crimes are violent murders that the Misfit committed beforehand. This displays the criminal world that we live in.

    He doesn't flinch when the shots are fired and immediately turns to his own life explanation. Even though he knew as soon as the grandmother recognized him, that he was going to kill them, he drags it on by focusing on his own life instead of making it a quick and easy getaway. I don't give him sympathy because he is self obsessed, with no empathy toward the people he killed and wants to play with their emotions and thoughts before he kills them. O'Connor makes a striking point about how the misfit might react following the grandmothers death in the piece, "The Element of Suspense in 'A Good Man is hard to Find'". She states, "I don't want to equate the Misfit with the devil.

    She places too much trust into the Misfit believing the he “won’t shoot a lady, would you?” (7) because of the men’s gender roles: men are taught not to harm a lady. However, the grandmother disregards the injustice the Misfit experienced, which is the reason for her lack of logic when using gender roles as an argument. It is highly possible the Misfit is killing others so they can experience the unfairness he experienced. By conducting these misconducts such as murdering a family, he feels this as a compensation for what the American justice system had done to him.

    The misfit gains awareness of human morals when he kills the grandmother and he says, "She would have been a good woman...if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life" (O 'Connor 1020), he then realized that she wasn 't all that good. O 'Connor did a good job of interpreting the grandmother as a way to put away the values of the old Southern America; she also interprets the Misfit as a type of common man who is defiantly not perfect which can a realistic version of the new Southern America. In "A Good Man is Hard to Find", the irritating grandmother cares more about matters such as her appearance and manners, she dressed her best for the car ride and the reason for her doing this is so that "In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would at once know that she was a lady." (O 'Connor 1010). The grandmother is a very selfish woman, the first thing she said to the Misfit is "You wouldn 't shoot a lady, would you?"

    (6:27). O 'Connor presents both the view of the Misfit as a fellow human being in pain, and the feeling of love for him, as a gift from God. The grandmother as a human being, is prone towards evil and selfishness, so she could never have come to feel such love without God 's help, as this man was going to kill her. This moment of grace is incredibly important in the story. The Misfit kills the grandmother, withdrawing from her and what seems foreign to him (human compassion), but the grandmother already had her moment of redemption.

The Misfit does not express selfishness, rather he equally treats himself as he would with the people that he murdered. With two distinct differences in reality, both show similar signs of
