Did you find this to be a disturbing story?

The definition of "disturbing" is when peace and harmony are interrupted or interfered with. In O'Connor's "A Good Man is Hard to Find," the peace and tranquility of the family traveling for a holiday are fatally interrupted when they take a wrong road and come in contact with The Misfit and his gang. The family may have escaped unharmed if the grandmother had not identified the men as escaped convicts, which makes one feel sorry for the family. Probably the most disturbing fact of the story, however, is the polite, yet carefree, way that the deaths are carried out. For example, the Misfit says the following:

"Lady, . . . would you and that little girl like to step off yonder with Bobby Lee and Hiram and join your husband?"

Then the mother simply says, "Yes, thank you," and walks her daughter and herself into the woods to be killed like her husband just was. The mother doesn't put up a fight, or argue, or try to escape! Another disturbing thought is how easily the other men carry out The Misfit's orders. These men kill men, women, and children without a second thought! After the surprise of such evil wears off, a reader might realize just how desensitized and callous some people can become; however, each reader might find a different part of the story that disturbs him or her in a different way. Which part of the story upsets you?
