A Good Man Is Hard to Find
I chose a medieval art where Judith cut off the head of Holofernes. The story behind this painting is that Judith saved the Jews of Bethulia from being destroyed by Holofernes, who had brought his whole army to her village. Judith wanted the elders to interfere with general Holofernes plans, but they told her to leave things in the hands of God and to trust in him. Instead, she decided to deal with things herself if no one was going to do anything about it. Judith was a beautiful widow determined to do whatever it takes. She gained the trust of the general, says she has information on the Israelites. The general comes to admire her and invites Judith to his banquet, so she then puts on the finest clothes on and goes to find the general in his tent. She gets him drunk and seduces him, and he goes to lie down in bed expecting her to follow him, but she goes and gets his sword and cuts his head off. I think this medieval art in a way relates to the story “A good man is hard to find” because in the book the family is going on vacation to Florida but the grandma doesn’t want to go there and tries to convince her son not to go there, during the trip it talks about how now a days we can’t trust no one “These days you don’t know who to trust…” and the grandma talks about how she can “remember the day you could go off and leave your screen door unlatched. Not no more.” The waitress also says “it isn’t a soul in this green world of God’s that you can trust…” and in the painting the general trusted this women who he just met and invited her to his party and it just got him killed. Towards the end of the book they have a car accident but they are fine and the car is messed up. They see a car driving slowly on the road and the grandma “waved both arms dramatically to attract their attention” so they can help them. But it turns out to be the Misfit, who escaped from the federal pen, and he ended up killing all of them. So in both stories they
