Comparing the Grandmother in The Necklace and A Good Man is Hard to Find

One of the most prominent similarities between the two is the alienation they felt from their mothers. Despite the love they

they both come from dysfunctional families. They differin many ways because Lorraine wants to become a writer while John wants to become an actor. Although John doesnt listen to his parents and is jealous of his perfect older brother, he isn't really that bad of a person. On the other hand Lorraine is tought to hate men because of her mother mistakes, not only does she act like her mother but she is very very very cautious just like her too. " You just never caught him."

Crooks and Lennie are also similar because there outcasts, both characters are excluded from nights out with other ranch workers and games that the others play when they aren’t working.

The short stories, "A Good man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Conner and "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner both stories connect because have dangerous, unusual characteristics and share a number of similar character traits. Their similarities stem not only from both women's education, but also from the controversy of their actions within the social dynamics of the world in which they live now. "A Good man is Hard to Find" is about a grandmother and her family brutally murdered by a coldhearted killer, and "A Rose for Emily"is about a lady who murders her lover and then sleeps beside his rotting body. Not only have O'Conner and Faulkner created similar plots in their respective stories but also both story create similar character in their Protagonits.

The “Jury of her Peers” and Trifles are similar because they have the same characters, the characters in both “Jury of her Peers” and Trifles are not different from each other at all. Another similarity between the two is that they are both written by Susan Glaspell.

She intentionally lies about the house having a secret panel just to get the kids interest so that Bailey would be more likely to stop and visit. The grandmother is also portrayed as being very loud and outgoing. When the family stops at the restaurant, she carries on a conversation with a complete stranger. She also wants to get up and dance.

The grandmother in the beginning seems to be a very curious, kind, and old fashioned woman. As the story progresses she turns into this self-centered selfish woman. She appears like this in times like when she tells story’s (old fashioned) about her past experiences and the excited way she points out things (innocence and kindness.). I dislike that her curiosity is what lead the family to their death. Overall she remained the only character I liked so when she was killed I was left disappointed.

For example, Bailey does not want her to carry the cat to their journey. However, grandmother does not listen to him and she hides the cat inside the car in a basket and thus secretly brings the cat along with her. On their way, she also wants to go and visit the old plantation even though Bailey does not agree to this. In order to see that she gets what she wants, she talks to the children and convinces them to tell Bailey to do as she wishes. The author writes “There was a secret panel in this house…. and the story went that all the family silver was hidden in it when Sherman came through but it was never found . . .” (O’Connor 45). Grandmother says these words craftily in her attempts to convince Bailey to drive to the old plantations even though she knows that she is not telling the truth. Evidently, she leads the family into a dangerous tour drive. In this tour, the family ends up having an accident due to the Pitty Sing cat sneaking out of the car, leaping on Bailey who loses control of the car. She avoids responsibility by pretending to be hurt. Her actions put the family in dangerous situations.

The grandmother is the central character in the short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” by Flannery O’Connor. She is also a very well rounded and dynamic character. She shows various characteristics and reveals various remarks as they story progresses. Some of her qualities include selfish and a pushy person. She is also kind of manipulator in a way that she insists her family to change the plan. At the beginning of the story when we first realize her desire to visit her childhood house, she is being a very selfish person. Examining her conversation with her son Bailey, the grandmother is moreover a pushy person. She is convincing Bailey to change the trip plan according to her need only and which will

In a Good Man is Hard to Find, this grandmother is very selfish, talkative and manipulative. Throughout this story the grandmother portrayed all of these different personality traits. She is like no grandmother that you have ever seen.

Another similarity between the two women is in regard to their taste in men. At one point in the novel, Mademoiselle Reisz mentions that "If I were young and in love with a man it seems to me he would have to be some grand esprit; it seems to me if I were young and in love I should never deem a man of ordinary caliber worthy of my devotion." (81) This definition of Mademoiselle’s ideal love almost perfectly matches that of Edna’s. For Edna was searching for the same qualities within Robert; a change, something that goes astray from the ordinary. Mr. Pontellier, her husband, was simply that, ordinary, which she did not want.

Through the story, Madame Loisel changes by realizing how much the necklace is and does the right thing and buys her a new one but this choice has a consequence. The text said, “It was worth forty thousand”. She started to figure out that they weren't going to find the necklace so she decided to buy a forty thousand dollar necklace but really it was only 50 dollars. I think he changes since, in the beginning, he is nice to the old man but then changed when he noticed his eye. On page 1 it said, “I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him”. This means he was nice but then decided to kill him because he didn’t like his eye. Because the characters change we are able to learn and change our actions before we make the same

In the story ¨The Necklace¨ by Guy de Maupassant Mme. Loisel ends up losing her friends necklace and has to buy her a new one. She has many misfortunes and blames them all on her friend, Mme. Forestier. She does not take her own responsibilities by blaming it on other people instead of herself. Mme. Loisel does not tell Mme. Forestier about the lost necklace, she instead lies to her about it by saying she will return it soon. In the story, it is also clear that Mme. Loisel's husband buys her an invitation and is unhappy because she has nothing to wear. This shows that Mme. Loisel is ungrateful, irresponsible, and dishonest

The main characters Mathilde in “The Necklace” and the grandmother in “A good man is hard to find” are very resembling the reasons why is because the both show a character of selfishness. They are refused to admit their mistake. Both of them had the same kind of motivation to their previous mistake, and also they had the same excuse as to why they keep quiet about their mistake. Even though Mathilde and the grandmother punishments were not the same, but we still can compare them, because no matter way the situation was dead or alive both of them were doing something that was unacceptable.
