A Bible Salesman's Hostility in The Good Country People by Flannery O'connor

The Good Country People story by Flannery O'Connor is a psychological drama that leaves a message to the reader about not to judge people for how they look and/or how they behave in a certain situation. The characters like Joy, Mrs. Hopewell, and Manley Pointer are people that have poor intentions and are not an example of being good country people. In the story, a Bible salesman going way to entryway winds up meeting the girl of one of the families he goes to, and in the end, convincing her into stalling out in the space of her outbuilding. To finish his persuading her, he utilizes animosity, appeal, and arguing to accomplish what he needs. From his techniques, we can find out much about how individuals can be conned into accomplishing something. In synopsis, the holy book sales rep could con Hulga on the grounds that he was excessively forceful and enticing in his activities towards her, and his activities unmistakably would have demonstrated that he was a scalawag, if Hulga and Mrs. Hopewell had watched the key indications of his portray.

The primary case of the bible salesman hostility comes when he continued connecting with Mrs. Hopewell to purchase a book of scriptures, and declining to leave, notwithstanding her unmistakable wish for him to do only that. Even when she says, “Well, young man, I don’t want to buy a Bible and I smell my dinner burning.” Flannery O'Connor-Good Country people, the bible salesman does not yield, and in the long run, deceived Mrs. Hopewell into welcoming him inside for supper. While his activities may have seemed real, they were the primary cautioning sign that the book of scriptures sales rep was a scalawag. His persevering frame of mind isn't one normally taken by the salesman since most sales reps leave when no intrigue at all is appearing in what they are moving. In any case, even long after unmistakably Mrs. Hopewell was not going to purchase a book of scriptures, the sales rep stayed and talked with her, and supplementing her, notwithstanding when unmistakably she needed him to leave. His unmistakable infringement of essential expressive gestures, just as his constancy to draw nearer with the Hopewell family, was a reasonable marker that he was looking for trouble, and couldn't be trusted, regardless of his guiltless and kind air.

Later on in the story, there is a scene between Hulga and the bible salesman, where he weights her to state that she adores him. Subsequent to giving him some opposition, she, in the long run, gives in and reveals to him that she cherishes him. While influencing her, the bible salesman, “You got to say it. You got to say that you love me.” Along these lines, the bible salesman again sets off a key cautioning sign. His steadiness in alarming, particularly thinking about that expression that you cherish someone is a key advance in a relationship and not one to be hurried. This steadiness from the bible salesman for her to make this critical achievement is obviously forceful and uncalled for. Along these lines, his perseverance is another unmistakable cautioning sign that he isn't to be trusted. On the off chance that he really thought about Hulga, he would let her make this vital advance when she was prepared, not when he needed her to. By and large, his refusal to withdraw on the issue of saying, His steadiness in alarming, particularly thinking about that expression that you cherish someone is a key advance in a relationship and not one to be hurried. This steadiness from the bible salesman for her to make this critical achievement is obviously forceful and uncalled for. Along these lines, his perseverance is another unmistakable cautioning sign that he isn't to be trusted. On the off chance that he really thought about Hulga, he would let her make this vital advance when she was prepared, not when he needed her to. By and large, his refusal to withdraw on the issue of saying, 'I cherish you', demonstrates that he isn't to be trusted and that he is maybe a rascal, and not a veritable darling.

The last disturbing indication of the bible salesman is the point at which he demands that Hulga demonstrates to him her wooden leg. Notwithstanding Hulga's disarray at the demand, he holds on, and she in the long run yields to his desire. Once Hulga consented to indicate him, she contemplated internally, “…it was like surrendering to him completely. It was like losing her own life and finding it again, miraculously, in his”. While she attempts to see this as a stage of closeness, she obviously feels shortcoming, and her very own freedom as an individual emptying endlessly out of her. In this way, it is another reasonable advance of control by the book of scriptures sales rep that ought to have been a notice sign for Hulga. In the long run, he demonstrates that he is a swindler, as he persuades her to evacuate her leg, and takes it, leaving Hulga stuck upstairs in her animal dwelling place. His ask for, and his persuading contention that he expected to see her leg to see her legitimately, is one more cautioning sign that Hulga ought to have seen. Since it was such a strange demand, it was an unmistakable sign that the holy book sales rep was looking for trouble.

By and large, the tirelessness and strange moves made by the bible salesman proposed that he was in reality, not genuinely enamored with Hulga, and was in truth a scalawag. From this proof, we can draw an exercise about the exercises of con artists. The good book sales rep's conduct, both towards Mrs. Hopewell, and Hulga was forceful, bizarre, excessively influential, and requesting. Despite the fact that sales reps are commonly pushy individuals, the holy book sales rep's conduct is, over the best, and uncalled for. With these models, O'Connor is instructing her perusers on the exercises of swindlers. Right off the bat, the forceful and meddlesome conduct, just as his tireless requests, is proof of his blame. Along these lines, plainly there are numerous signs that clarify that an individual is a rascal, to be specific relentless diligence to accomplish something that the other individual is obviously standing up to.
