A good Man is Hard to Find

In the short story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" the serial killer was my favorite character whose name is the Misfit. I found this fascinating even though the Misfit is responsible for the deaths of everyone in the family, he is still the most interesting character in the story. He seems to have the most accurate commentary on morality out of any other character in the story which is ironic because he has the least out of any other character. I really appreciated his ability to perceive the Grandma's true character through all of her bs. This commentary is also why I appreciated ending of the story because the second final line of the story was "She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." and the final line was about how killing was "no real pleasure". He could tell that the grandma was only being kind in her fear of death and he acknowledged the necesity of murder but was unwilling to enjoy it.
