Grandmother
When thinking of the characteristics of a grandmother what does one think about? In the story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor it is written from the perspective of the grandmother. With it being told from her perspective it shows how she feels and her opinion. Even if the grandmother looks down on someone she still can find the good in others, well if it is to her advantage. A characteristic of this grandmother is someone who tries to manipulate others to get her way.
At the beginning of the story, the grandmother tries to manipulate the son from going on vacation to Florida. She did not want to go to Florida; she wanted to go to Tennessee. She had friends she wanted to visit in Tennessee and was disappointed that she was not getting her way to go there. She had even noticed an article in the newspaper that her son was reading about how a guy “that calls himself The Misfit is aloose from Federal Pen and headed toward Florida” (Glaspell, 1916, p. 117). She gave this as a reason that going to Florida would not be a good idea. Neither the son nor the daughter-in-law listened to her, and she then turned to her grandkids in hopes that trying to scare them would make them upset and get her sons attention. The kids did not get scared but rather turned her manipulation back on her letting her know they did not care if she went on the trip. Her granddaughter June Star even stated the reason her grandmother would not stay home was that she was “afraid she’d miss something” (Glaspell, 1916, p. 117).
When the family first got in the car going on the trip, the grandmother hid her cat so it would not be left behind. Her son would not approve so manipulating the situation by hiding the cat was her best option. She wore a very nice outfit that she felt a lady should wear. Her daughter-in-law was dressed as though she was wearing clothing someone would wear to do chores around the house. The grandmother wanted everyone to know she was a lady by just looking at her. If they had a wreck on the way to Florida and she passed away, she wanted anyone coming up to the scene to know she was a lady when they first laid eyes on her. To pass the time she told the kids a story about how when she was a young lady a man named Mr. Teagarden, that she had dated would bring her a “watermelon every Saturday afternoon” (Glaspell, 1916, p. 117). She stated, “she would have done well to marry Mr. Teagarden” (Glaspell, 1916, p. 117) because he became rich when he was older. Even though she would be manipulative with something’s, she still was very interactive with the kids and kept them entertained.
When the family drove through the town of Toombsboro Georgia, the grandmother began to talk about a plantation that she used to visit when she was young. She started to describe the house and lied by saying it had a secret room that no one knew about, but the people living there. The gra.
