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

I really thought it was interesting how the grandmother was portrayed as the supposed moral character, however the reality is that she is just as bad, if not worse, than the other people in the story.  If you look at her words, she is often times very cynical towards the rest of the world.  She compares life as it is to what it used to be when she was a child.  I think she spent too much time thinking about the past that she did not see how she was acting in the present, which is contradictory to what she claims to believe.  The eye opening experience to why she is immoral is found at the end of the story when she is in front of the misfit with a gun to her face.  The misfit says, "she would have been a good person if there were someone to shoot her every day of her life."  She only pretended the times before to be the Christian woman she claimed to be and her only true goodness was found at the end, although she could have been faking those emotions to save her life.
