Talk:A Good Man Is Hard to Find/@comment-31077845-20170218044944

Moral of the story: old people suck and if you listen to them and their ridiculous old person nonsense only misfortune will befall you.

If only this family had recognized that and left her annoying pruny old ass home let alone listening to anything she said rather than nodding any saying "Mm hm" or "Yeah grandma" or "Oh yeah" or "Well that's sure interesting" any time she opened her mouth, they'd all still be alive. Way to go old lady. You couldn't be satisfied just being useless and obnoxiously oblivious, you had to get your entire family murdered too. And then in the end they're all clearly dead and it's all her fault and she's still trying to save herself, despite her deserving worse than death at that point. Wow I hated the grandmother character.

I'd think she was intentionally written to piss the reader off, but someone below is suggesting this is a  much older work, so I'm almost thinking that maybe once upon a time the character wouldn't have come off as someone you'd want to strangle with every fiber of your being, but rather an innocent individual who was unable to come to terms with a world where people weren't as trustworthy as they once were...but once again, in my case I mostly wanted to strangle her the entire time.
