which statement best describes how the theme of good vs. evil interacts with the theme of decaying southern culture in o'connor's short story "a good man is hard to find"? the misfit in the story seems evil at first, but turns out to be good, because he kills the grandmother, who is the true evil character in the story. the misfit is an outcast in the south because he has been tossed around from prison to prison, where he has learned skills to become more evil. the grandmother represents old southern culture in the story, because she is racist, selfish and evil but appears to be a good southern lady on the outside. the grandmother's selfishness is evil because it gets her family killed, but there is a glimmer of hope at the end of the story suggesting that southern culture is improving.

The correct answer is "The grandmother represents old southern culture in the story because she is racist, selfish and evil but appears to be a good southern lady on the outside". "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," first published in 1953, is one of the most Flannery O'Connor's famous stories. O'Connor was a staunch Catholic, and like most of her stories, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" are about good and evil and the possibility of divine grace. The grandmother gives great importance to being "a lady," and her ideas about what that means reflect an old-fashioned, somewhat upper-crust Southern mindset. All end up in her to associate being "good" with coming from a respectable family and behaving like a member of her social class.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
