much more complicated than it appears. The theme, how appearances can sometimes be illusions, is focused mostly on the two main, contradictory characters - the grandmother and the Misfit. O’Connor writes from an outside perspective, introduces the story with the grandmother’s opposing opinion about the Misfit, and even favors the grandmother throughout the narrative.
