Good Country People

The phrase 'good country people' is used many times throughout the short story "Good Country People''. For me as a reader, it seemed to be a foreshadowing that one of the supposed 'good country people' would turn out to be not so good. It seems to me that Mrs Hopewell find all country people to be good and the moment the boy convinces her that he is from the country she finds him to be a nice young man, however he ends up taking advantage of her disabled daughter.
