"A Good Man is Hard to Find"

A good man is hard to find, and there are good and bad people in everyday settings. Flannery O'Conner is the author of "A Good Man is Hard to Find" in which there are many instances where people disrupt lives of others by great amounts. O'Connor chooses a theme for every story that she holds on to throughout the book, but in the "Displaced Person" everything is twisted around and completely changed. "The Displaced Person" …

…this book is broken and changed completely around including the death of the intruder, a good man is actually found, and a Christ-like figure paralleled to the intruder. Flannery O'Connor wrote a book full of short stories in which they all had the same themes included in them, and at the end she wrote a story that was completely opposite, making that story the antithesis of the whole book, opposing everything the book stood for.
