Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.
Well, it depends on the genre of that non-fictional book. For instance, a mystery book would make the audience interested if there was an unsolved mystery included, but an adventure book, for instance, might hook the reader if it was actually based on historical events and something like the book described had actually happened. Therefore, for a fictional book, I would say all of these interest me depending on the type of book.
