摘　　要：Irony is Flannery O＇Connor＇s best-known technique. In her short story Good Country People, by applying the technique of irony, O＇Connor creates three images of ＂deformed＂ people, three seemingly shrewd figures behaving abnormally to satisfy their hollow spirit. This research paper will merely focus on interpreting the irony revealed by the names of the characters to present the contradictions between their expectations and the reality.
