After one reads it‚ they know enough about her to recognize the comedy‚ violence‚ and theological concern. According to Frederick Asals‚ who critiqued this short story‚ “...the primordial appeal of the story‚ for “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” captures a very old truth‚ that in the midst of life we are in death‚ in its most compelling modern form
