Picasso and O'Connor


In a technical climax such as this, a turning point in the story occurs that further complicates and shocks the reader. Finally, the family sees help on the horizon in the form of a "hearse like automobile- carrying "three men- (O'Connor 365). In the dramatic and final climax of "A Good Man is Hard to Find-, the Misfit meets the family and determines their fate (O'Connor 365). He and his two accomplices, Bobby Lee and Hiram, kill the entire family with no remorse and no second thought (O'Connor 366). The dramatic climax completes the story with the ultimate ending, something that is the highest point of the story and really surprises the reader as well as ending the story. The effective way Flannery O'Connor uses the pattern of building climax allows the reader to experience disturbing events in a clear and concise manner.

She relates to the time when people helped other people and respected the elderly (O'Connor 361). On the other end of the spectrum, the Misfit cold-heartedly kills people and maintains no compassion. However, he politely allows the grandmother plead for her life and he remains calm until she calls him "her child- (O'Connor 370).
