Existentialism & Redemption in O’Connor’s A Good Man Is Hard to Find | Literary Analysis

In this lecture, English professor Dr. Whitney Kosters offers a comprehensive literary analysis of Flannery O’Connor’s "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," examining its existential themes, Southern Gothic elements, and the complex moral and religious questions it raises. The discussion also explores O’Connor’s use of irony, foreshadowing, and the grotesque, as well as how her Catholic perspective influences the narrative and the significance of The Misfit’s final words.
