A good person, let alone a good man, is hard to find

O'Connor's "A Good Man is Hard to Find" has no good characters. They are all written as very flat, and pretty single dimensional which is rather annoying. This made it really unrealistic to me and I don't feel bad when the ending comes and they meet an unhappy end. None of them seem to be real, even the mother doesn't try to save her children. This was very disappointing and to me, I can't see why it is considered a higher piece of fiction called literature but perhaps that is one of the best things about literature. People will pull different things from each of the separate texts, however some will be more understandable for some and for others it will be meaningless.
