This paper deals with the analysis of the short stories "Revelation" and "Good country people" by Flannery O'Connor. 

First, the author is introduced, as her southern and religious upbringing provides important background knowledge for a better understanding of the stories.

Then, the two short stories will be analyzed using textual evidence and researched sources to support the thesis presented later. In both "Good Country People" and "Revelation" Flannery O'Connor discloses hypocrisy and moral corruptness through her portrayal of the main characters.

Her main characters feel superior to others, judge and categorize people, and display false kindness and inner ugliness.
