The Misfit apologizes for not having a shirt on, this is used to show us that:

He and grandma share the same value system

Tennessee is a hillbilly dumping ground, and Georgia is a lousy state too.

It is an allusion to "The Temptation of Saint Anthony."

The Misfit can't remember the crime that got him sent to the penitentiary the first time, what could this signify?

This is an allusion to "original sin" that we are all born with.

He is lying to grandma so she'll think he is a good man.

He doesn't want to admit that he killed his father.

He is lying to grandma AND he doesn't want to admit to fratricide.

Grandma and the Misfit use "penitentiary" instead of "prison, the jailhouse, slammer, the pen," there are several layers of meaning to unravel with this use. All of the following are true EXCEPT:

"Prison" wasn't in common use when Flannery O'Connor wrote this story.

The irony that prisons produce criminals.

The Misfit shows a lack of "penance," which is admitting to wrong and asking forgiveness.

There is a redistribution of blame, taking the focus away from the Misfit's crime, and showing that he is just one part in the random nature of crime, whether we want to view this as chance or fate is left up to the reader.

Grandma pleads with the Misfit and says, "Pray! Jesus, you ought not to shoot a lady." Is she talking to the Misfit like he is Jesus?

It is left ambiguous for the reader to decide.

The question is left up to the teacher to decide.

"...the grandmother's head cleared for an instant. She saw the man's face twisted close to her own as if he were going to cry and she murmured,

"Why you are one of my babies. You're one of my own children."

"You wouldn't shoot a lady, would you?"

The Misfit has the last word in the story. He says,

"It's no real pleasure in life."

"She was a talker, wasn't she?"

"Tennessee is a hillbilly dumping ground, and Georgia is lousy too."
