The title, "A Good
Man is Hard to Find," is truer than ever as the family meets up with anything but
good men. What are the chances that the Grandmother's family would meet up
with the Misfit that she read about in the newspaper at the onset of the story in trying to
persuade the family not to travel to Florida but to Tennessee? Even more ironic is that the
family meets the criminals by taking a road to a plantation that the Grandmother steers them
towards. However, Grandmother recalls, too late, that the house is not in Georgia. Thus, they
have no business driving on the road where the accident occurs and, ultimately, the entire
family's demise.
Even more surreal is that the Grandmother finds herself in
woods where neither clouds nor sun exist. It is as if the family is surrounded by evil, much
like on a stage set. Ironically, the evil does surround them as the family members are shot
one-by-one.
