Kommentar av erik linge Army irregulars on a filibustering mission led by a Captain White. Failing to stay clear of a huge herd of rustled and stolen animals, White's group is overwhelmed by an accompanying group of hundreds of Comanche warriors.
Few of them survive. Arrested as a filibuster in Chihuahua , the kid is set free when his acquaintance Toadvine tells the authorities they will make useful Indian hunters for the state's newly hired scalphunting operation.
They join Glanton and his gang, and the bulk of the novel is devoted to detailing their activities and conversations. The gang encounters a traveling carnival, and, in untranslated Spanish, several of their fortunes are told with Tarot cards.
The gang originally contract with various regional leaders to protect locals from marauding Apaches , and are given a bounty for each scalp they recover.
Before long, however, they devolve into the outright murder of unthreatening Indians, unprotected Mexican villages, and eventually even the Mexican army and anyone else who crosses their path.
Throughout the novel Holden is presented as a profoundly mysterious and awe-inspiring figure; the others seem to regard him as not quite human. Like the historical Holden of Chamberlain's autobiography, he is a child-killer.
According to the kid's new companion Ben Tobin, an "ex- priest ", the Glanton gang first met the judge while fleeing for their lives from a much larger Apache group.
In the middle of a blasted desert, they found Holden sitting on an enormous boulder, where he seemed to be waiting for the gang.
In a scene with distinctly Faustian overtones, [5] they agreed to follow his leadership, and he took them to an extinct volcano where he instructed the ragged, desperate gang on how to manufacture gunpowder , enough to give them the advantage against the Apaches.
When the kid remembers seeing Holden in Nacogdoches, Tobin tells the kid that each man in the gang claims to have met the judge at some point before joining the Glanton Gang.
After months of marauding, the gang crosses into U. Local Yuma Quechan Indians are at first approached to help the gang wrest control of the ferry from its original owners, but Glanton's gang betrays them, using their presence and previously coordinated attack on the ferry as an excuse to seize the ferry's munitions and slaughter the Yuma.
Because of the new operators' brutal ways, the U. Army and the Yumas set up a second ferry at a ford upriver. After a while, the Yumas attack and kill most of the gang.
The kid, Toadvine and Tobin are among the survivors who flee into the desert, though the kid takes an arrow in the leg.
The kid and Tobin head west, and come across Holden, who first negotiates, then threatens them for their gun and possessions. Holden shoots Tobin in the neck, and the wounded pair hide among bones by a desert creek.
Tobin repeatedly urges the kid to fire upon Holden. The kid does so — only once — but misses his mark. The survivors continue their travels, ending up in San Diego.
The kid gets separated from Tobin and is subsequently imprisoned. Holden visits the kid in jail, and tells him that he has told the jailers "the truth": that the kid alone was responsible for the end of the Glanton gang.
The kid declares that the judge was responsible for the gang's evil, but the judge denies it. The kid stoically rebuts all of Holden's statements, but when the judge reaches through the cell bars to touch him, the kid recoils in disgust.
Holden leaves the kid in jail, stating that he "has errands. While recovering from the "spirits of ether ", he hallucinates the judge visiting him along with a curious man who forges coins.
The kid recovers and seeks out Tobin, with no luck. He makes his way to Los Angeles, where Toadvine and another member of the Glanton gang, David Brown, are hanged for their crimes.
The kid again wanders across the American West, and decades are compressed into a few pages. In the kid, now in his mids and referred to as "the man", makes his way to Fort Griffin , Texas.
The lawless city is a center for processing the remains of the American Bison , which have been hunted nearly to extinction.
At a saloon he meets the judge, who seems not to have aged in the intervening years. Holden calls the kid "the last of the true," and the pair talk.
Holden describes the kid as a disappointment, stating that he held in his heart "clemency for the heathen.
The kid seems to deny all of these ideas, telling the judge "You aint nothin [sic]," and noting the performing bear at the saloon, states, "even a dumb animal can dance.
The kid hires a prostitute, then afterwards goes to an outhouse under another meteor shower. In the outhouse, he is surprised by the naked judge, who "gathered him in his arms against his immense and terrible flesh.
The unnamed third man advises the two not to go in the outhouse. They ignore the suggestion, open the door, and can only gaze in awed horror at what they see, one of them stating "Good God almighty.
The ambiguous fate of the kid is followed by an epilogue, featuring a possibly allegorical man augering lines of holes across the prairie, perhaps for fence posts.
The man sparks a fire in each of the holes, and an assortment of wanderers trail behind him. A major theme is the warlike nature of man.
Critic Harold Bloom [7] praised Blood Meridian as one of the best 20th century American novels, describing it as "worthy of Herman Melville 's Moby-Dick ," [8] but admitted that his "first two attempts to read through Blood Meridian failed, because I flinched from the overwhelming carnage".
Stratton contends that the brutality depicted is the primary mechanism through which McCarthy challenges binaries and promotes his revisionist agenda.
In McCarthy's work, violence tends to be just that; it is not a sign or symbol of something else. The themes implied by the epigraphs have been variously discussed without specific conclusions.
As noted above concerning the ending, [ clarification needed ] the most common interpretation of the novel is that Holden kills the kid in a Fort Griffin, Texas, outhouse.
Patrick W. Shaw argues that Holden has sexually violated the protagonist. As Shaw writes, the novel had several times earlier established "a sequence of events that gives us ample information to visualize how Holden molests a child, then silences him with aggression.
If the judge wanted only to kill the kid, there would be no need for him to undress as he waited in the outhouse.
Shaw writes,. When the judge assaults the kid in the Fort Griffin jakes… he betrays a complex of psychological, historical and sexual values of which the kid has no conscious awareness, but which are distinctly conveyed to the reader.
Ultimately, it is the kid's personal humiliation which impacts the reader most tellingly. In the virile warrior culture which dominates that text and to which the reader has become acclimated, seduction into public homoeroticism is a dreadful fate.
We do not see behind the outhouse door to know the details of the kid's corruption. It may be as simple as the embrace that we do witness or as violent as the sodomy implied by the judge's killing of the Indian children.
The kid's powerful survival instinct perhaps suggests that he is a more willing participant than a victim. However, the degree of debasement and the extent of the kid's willingness are incidental.
The public revelation of the act is what matters. Other men have observed the kid's humiliation… In such a male culture, public homoeroticism is untenable and it is this sudden revelation that horrifies the observers at Fort Griffin.
No other act could offend their masculine sensibilities as the shock they display… This triumph over the kid is what the exhibitionist and homoerotic judge celebrates by dancing naked atop the wall, just as he did after assaulting the half-breed boy.
Shaw's article. Shaw then goes on to review Eric Fromm's distinction between benign and malignant aggression — benign aggression being only used for survival and is rooted in human instinct, whereas malignant aggression is destructive and is based in human character.
It is Shaw's thesis that McCarthy fully accepts and exemplifies Fromm's malignant aggression, which he sees as part of the human condition, and which we do well to heed, for without this acceptation we risk losing ourselves in intellectual and physical servitude.
Shaw goes in for a certain amount of special pleading: the Comanches sodomizing their dying victims; the kid's exceptional aggression and ability, so that the judge could not have killed him that easily; the judge deriving more satisfaction from tormenting than from eliminating.
Since the judge considers the kid has reserved some clemency in his soul, Shaw argues, that the only logical step is that the judge humiliates him by sodomy.
This is possible, but unlikely. The judge gives one the impression, not so much of male potency, but of impotence. His mountainous, hairless flesh is more that of a eunuch than a man.
Having suggested paedophilia, Shaw then goes back to read other episodes in terms of the judge's paedophilia: the hypothesis thus becomes the premise.
And in so arguing, Shaw falls into the same trap of narrative closure for which he has been berating other critics. The point about Blood Meridian is that we do not know and we cannot know.
David Vann argues that the setting of the American southwest which the Gang traverses is representative of hell.
Vann claims that the Judge's kicking of a head is an allusion to Dante 's similar action in the Inferno. Three epigraphs introduce the novel.
The second, taken from the "Gnostic" mystic Jacob Boehme , [ citation needed ] has incited varied discussion. The quote from Boehme reads as follows: "It is not to be thought that the life of darkness is sunk in misery and lost as if in sorrowing.
There is no sorrowing. For sorrow is a thing that is swallowed up in death, and death and dying are the very life of the darkness.
Critics agree that there are Gnostic elements present in Blood Meridian, but they disagree on the precise meaning and implication of those elements.
One of the most detailed of these arguments is made by Leo Daugherty in his article, " Blood Meridian as Gnostic Tragedy.
He describes the novel as a "rare coupling of Gnostic 'ideology' with the 'affect' of Hellenic tragedy by means of depicting how power works in the making and erasing of culture, and of what the human condition amounts to when a person opposes that power and thence gets introduced to fate.
Daugherty sees Holden as an archon , and the kid as a "failed pneuma. Daugherty contends that the staggering violence of the novel can best be understood through a Gnostic lens.
As Daugherty writes, "For [Gnostics], evil was simply everything that is , with the exception of bits of spirit imprisoned here. And what they saw is what we see in the world of Blood Meridian.
Another major theme concerning Blood Meridian involves the subject of theodicy. Theodicy in general refers to the issue of the philosophical or theological attempt to justify the existence of that which is metaphysically or philosophically good in a world which contains so much apparent and manifest evil.
James Wood in his essay for The New Yorker entitled "Red Planet" from took a similar position to this in recognizing the issue of the general justification of metaphysical goodness in the presence of evil in the world as a recurrent theme in the novel.
McCarthy first began writing Blood Meridian in , as he finished Suttree. Blood Meridian was his first attempt at a western.
It is his first novel set in the Southwestern United States , a change from the Appalachian settings of his earlier work.
In his essay for the Slate Book Review from 5 October entitled "Cormac McCarthy Cuts to the Bone", Noah Shannon summarizes the existing library archives of the first drafts of the novel as dating to the mids.
