   Physically grotesque is the violence that is in the story; an entire family is brutally murdered.  It graphically describes the begging, pleading grandmother at the end being shot three times in the chest.  Pretty violent.

   Morally grotesque is the nature of some of the characters:  The Misfit, Hiram, and Bobby Lee.  Less obvious though is the morally unlikable grandmother character, who whines and complains, sets the family off their beaten path to satisfy her whims, spouts class prejudiceness and racism, and seems only concerned about saving herself.
