@@theparadigm8149 Bruh for real. I've never had that before. That's why I asked how they did it in 4 hours which is insanely quick. I had more hours with much less words 😅
The mikado was not actually Japanese. It was set in Japan and the characters were Japanese, but the writers and actors were all white. Also, I've heard that "pitty sing" might just be southern baby-talk for "pretty thing"
@@neelumawan7721 Yeah when I think about it , the grandmother is fully aware of her deceitful nature e.g. she is trying from the outset to manipulate her son to go where she wants to go (saying it would be good for the children to east Tennessee but she's only thinking about herself). In the end she tried to seize on the Misfit's brief moment of weakness (caused by the religious discussion) and tried to personify Jesus or God, but he saw right through her blasphemous lies ("he felt like a snake bit him, like the devil in the garden of Eden).
@@ManuelNestero that’s not the common interpretation of the ending but is the only one that makes sense to me. She doesn’t/can’t change on a dime like most think she did.
I really want to get in a debate with someone about this story. I think it's an ok story that's been over hyped and whose words on the page do not adequately support the interpretations. One could just as well say the Misfit has qualities of Satan, the clever advocate. How lasting and deep is grandmother's sudden kindness? I would have liked the story better if reviewers applaud her murder as a consequence of her sudden newfound foxhole fervor instead of trying to bring in O'Connor god's grace crap. Is her faith real or is she grabbing automatically at the Sunday school teaching. What Southern Christian doesn't urge prayer for everything. Not proof of an epiphany. "not knowing what she was saying feeling so dizzy" does not sound like a martyr. In fact that's going to be my interpretation. Seems every other person has his own, after all. That's a weakness not a strength. What I don't get are all the other pages? Are the others even necessary to the story? The family is just normal people not the abnormal mean group reviewers try to call them. Nor is grandmother all that bad as short story characters go. I conclude by saying before I ever read a single analysis, I thought the road side murders reminded me a lot of similar murders committed by Nazis or Japanese in WWII. I figured she was giving Americans a taste of what the rest of the world had know just a few years before publishing.
Ok so read the damn book. Why include the racist parts anyway? So you can cry and complain that he mentioned it? Read the damn book and read it for yourself.
I guess it's ok for Millennial dumbasses (redundant term, I know) with self-diagnosed ADHD who need some grating quirky beta hipster to yell at them about stuff they are too dumb to actually read. Animation was ok. Anyone who has actually read the story should be appalled and barf
Disagree. That he did a good job. He’s annoying as hell of course. It seems he has very little understanding of this story. Or religion. Or Flannery O’Conner.
you just helped me write a 2,000 page essay worth 40% of my semester, we had over a month to turn it in and I finished it in 4 hours
2000 word essay in 4 hours? How lol?
@@anouaressanoussi Nah, they put “2,000 page essay”… 😟 I don’t believe it!
@@theparadigm8149 loool. I read that too but prolly simple mistake
@@anouaressanoussi Yeah, but a 2,000-word requirement still seems ridiculous! 😳

This story has haunted me for years. Thanks for the explanation for some of the esoteric meanings buried in the plot.
Just saved me from my English class😁
@Remington Elliott ewww
gotta write an essay on this and turn it in by midnight
May you show me your essay please
Thank You! I could never understand this story. Until now.
Always coming in clutch for mr.gotts English class
You are AWESOME sir! I am much better reading and understanding and finalizing these short stories.
Pitty Sing was a famous Japanese opera about three criminals
The mikado was not actually Japanese. It was set in Japan and the characters were Japanese, but the writers and actors were all white. Also, I've heard that "pitty sing" might just be southern baby-talk for "pretty thing"
i honestly thought the climax was when the misfit is introduced
That was a good review. I am not even going to read the whole thing anymore for my paper. Thank you!
This is a good example of authority does not equal infallibility
What I wanna know is what happened to the cat
This is the deus ex machina of my essay! Thank you!
couldn’t have explained it better
I'm still confused though,.. Is the Misfit really one of the Grandmother's children, or was she simply saying that in a religious sense?
no , he is not
she says it ,only to save herself, her life.
@@neelumawan7721 Yeah when I think about it , the grandmother is fully aware of her deceitful nature e.g. she is trying from the outset to manipulate her son to go where she wants to go (saying it would be good for the children to east Tennessee but she's only thinking about herself).

@@ManuelNestero This was an great analogy, never thought that deep into the last bit.

Good question?
4:55 (just a time stamp of difference between grandmother and misfit)
It was a good summary! thank you
I like this guy. hes so enthusiastic

Oh very forward thinking! 😎
This guy is the FUTURE DUSTIN from stranger things Hahah! Totally reminded me of him. And by the way, beautiful explanation.
Thank you❤️❤️
You guys rock!

Thank you 💯
What's the meaning of a secret panel here?
thank you!
very good you're a savior
Brilliant! thanks! 😊🙏
What kind of world is depicted in the story
I wish you would talk and not sound like you're auctioning pumpkins at the fair or something.

Nice
I don´t get what does this story has to do with ¨the culture of The Old South¨ can anyone help ? pls
The grandmother mentions a lot of Old South culture: plantation houses, racial slurs, the importance of marrying for wealth and good manners.
Maybe you should actually read the book boo.
The names of the Misfits helpers are also based off civil war generals, Robert E Lee and a false name Grant went under
This guy's voice tho
people who did their english hw with this
👇
I wish you could speak intelligibly and not speaking in tongue as this...
This analysis completely omits the racist and southern overtones. Not a good analysis at all!
Ok so read the damn book. Why include the racist parts anyway? So you can cry and complain that he mentioned it? Read the damn book and read it for yourself.
You are extremely annoying but good job I guess
I read this story before any of you, even the video guy, were born

@@SandyL0uise I had hoped that the "but good job I guess" would have been obvious as sarcasm
@@Thorrific6969 Oh, goodness, no. Especially since everyone on this thread has showered him with praise for his analysis.
