O'Connor's The Misfit
On countless occasions we have seen that the key to a well-written story is the presentation of a nicely conceived character who is not necessarily the protagonist. The dialogues and actions in which this person is involved and the way he is first described by the author, are essential to the development of the story. In Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find, The Misfit-a criminal escaped from a federal prison-is the perfect example of this type of character. It is quite clear that for us to have a good understanding of this narrative we must investigate deeply into this man's role.

"A Reasonable Use of the Unreasonable. As O'Connor herself tell us in her essay ".
