In class we have been talking about the relationship and the themes found in two of O’Connor’s stories, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Revelation.” Both have the theme of having some sort of difference and tension between two generations. This is the theme that I have found very interesting because I can experience this in my own life. In both stories, there is an older woman who believes that she has it all put together and is a “good” person. There is also a younger person in each story who crosses into the older person’s life and brings along with them new values, ideas, and view on the world. The younger generation shows the older generation shows the older that they are not correct on everything, and the older generation is a bit hypocritical. I think that this is something that people will continually experience as they grow older and new generations come into the world. Each generation can learn from the other, and I think that this is something that everyone can think about and remember.
