A Good Man is Hard to Find

I had to chuckle about this title when I read it, as I too believe perhaps like the grandmother that a good man is hard to find...

The story is odd to me as I struggled with trying to find meaning in such a different story.  It really had no meaning to me when I read it the first time...a family goes on vacation with their crazy grandma and all get killed by a loose psychopath. 

But I tried to figure out how the title ties into it all and realized that the grandmother talks a lot about the men of her past and how they were good.  She talks about the Edgar who brought her a watermelon everyday...she even thinks the owner is a good man for believeing in people.  

When the Misfit come along she perhaps believes that he is good to somehow inside and tries to connect with him...In reality there was no good man in him
