Good Country People

Joy,(Hulga) was the protagonist in the story.  The concept of misunderstanding was when Hulga and Manley were in the loft.  Hulga thought that she was going to seduce him but Manley ending up seducing her.  When this was going on he stole her wooden leg from the loft and left.  Her leg was the most important part of her because it separated her from everyone else.  Her leg made her feel that she was different from all of the cerebral “good country people” like her mother and neighbors.
