Hiram

In this short story, “A Good Is Hard to Find”, written by Flannery O’Connor, an elderly woman makes an exciting trip go corrupt. O’Connor introduces us to a family going on a vacation. Bailey, the father, brings his mother, also known as the grandmother, along with his wife and three children. John, the son, and June, the daughter, are both obnoxious. The wife and the newborn go unnamed in this story. The grandmother demands that the household should drive to Tennessee because she wanted to visit

Over a century later, the state-owned historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu is now a part of

Hiram faced, on one hand, being ostracized from the small town of Greenwood and possibly even violence, but not attending the trial meant the possibility of Emmett’s murderers going free. Hiram, despite the possible consequences, went against his grandfather’s wishes and chose to attend the trial. Standing up for what is right was a central theme

Two of the nation’s most important time periods are the Post-Civil War Era and the Civil Rights Movement. Both attempted to become a large change in the way the nation functioned, by race equality through politics and social norms.

At some points they looked like good people and that is why the family members cooperated all through the process.

Towards the end of the story, O’Connor brings up the Misfits upbringings because the grandmother is trying to relate her good self with The Misfit’s good blood and how he must come from nice people. The narrator referred to Hiram as one of the bad escaped criminals and Red Sammy as the good owner of the Tower

The grandmother tells him to pray so that god forgives him, but The misfit says he is better off on his own. Just after that, the other two men, Bobby Lee and Hiram, come back with Bailey’s shirt, although the grandmother does not realize it was his. Then, The Misfit tells the mother and her two children to follow Bobby Lee and Hiram back into the woods.

She thought that now that Ms. Lockwood had Strat's eyes only for on her, she wouldn’t have chance on marrying who she loved, which was Hiram Stratton, and thought that marriage to someone she didn't love would be better than absolutely no marriage at all.

In Flannery O’Connor’s ”A Good Man Is Hard to Find” The Misfit exhibits signs of psychopathy, shown from his manipulating control over Bobby Lee and Hiram, and staying calm while he directly and indirectly kills six people.
