Religion in Flannery O'Connor's 'A Good Man is Hard to Find'

Zusatztext

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, language: English, abstract: At first sight A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O`Connor just appears like a grotesque story because it begins with a happy family trip and ends with a conversation about Jesus and six murders. But if the story is read under the aspect of religion, it has indeed got a deeper meaning. The fact that the author herself was a very religious woman, as will be obvious from her biography, and that religion appears in all of her works, shows that this short story can only be interpreted with the focus on religion.
