A Good Man Is Hard to Find

After finishing Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard to Find"I was not surprised by the ending. In the beginning, I noticed some foreshadowing of what happened at the end when the grandmother was worrying about The Misfit in the car. Also, when O'Connor wrote the passage about how the grandmother was dressed and if people would know that she was a lady if she had been laying on the side of the road, that was foreshadowing. As a result of that, I predicted what would happen at the end of the story.

I would say that the title of this story means that no one is fully "good" inside. The murderer seems nice at first, but is really just manipulating and tricking the family. Then he turns out to be bad and kills them. However, I don't know why it says "man" specifically, because women are the same way. To me, it's like this for everyone, since no one is completely perfect.
