Amanda Lear Occult occult Information
McCarthy vs Faulkner
Though Cormac McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses
and William Faulkner's The Unvanquished are completely different, their style
and plot techniques share more similarities than differences. All The Pretty
Horses and The Unvanquished both depict the importance of honor in a persons
life, whether it be honor through vengeance, honoring family, or honoring the
tradition of woman, these two novels teach that honor can create a stronger
person.
Vengeance plays an important role in both books. "At first Granny
had not wanted to be dead either but now she had begun to be reconciled. We
unwrapped it from the jagged square of stained faded gray cloth and fastened it
to the board. 'Now she can lay good and quiet,' Ringo said." (Page 184) Bayard
and Ringo would be considered cowards and shunned from their plantation if they
had not gone out to hunt down Grumby. Killing the murderer was the only type of
justice served and accepted in society back then. John Grady Cole felt a great
load of pressure on himself for Blevins' death, and he knew it would be
everlasting if he did not avenge Blevins' death. John sets out with a passion to
kill the captain and regain the horses, but realizes that the captain will have
a tougher time staying alive and John let's him go. This relieves the tension
that Blevins' death caused.
Honor towards family plays one of the most
important roles in The Unvanquished as well as in All The Pretty Horses. Bayard
must honor his family name by killing B.J. Redmond and live by the same term his
father did, "who lives by the sword, must die by the sword" (Page 214), but
Bayard chooses to confront Redmond in a different, courageous way, without
killing him and making him a coward of the town. Honor is also important with a
young woman and her father in Mexico. Alejandra must honor her father's request
not to be with John Grady Cole. Although she is very tempted to run off with
John, Alejandra partially honors her father's request never to see John again.
After spending a day with John on her way home from school, Alejandra denies his
asking of her to run away with him, John asks her why and she refers to what her
father did when she told him she first fell in love with John, "I didn't know
that he would stop loving me. I didn't know he could. Now I know." (Page 252)
This shows how serious Alejandra's father was emphasizing the fact that in
Mexico, a woman's reputation is all she holds.
As far as woman and children
were concerned no one would harm them physically, it was a rule. This is what
ensured Granny that she wouldn't be harmed when she went to Grumby, but Granny
intimidated him and out of fear Grumby killed her. Later, when Matt Bowden (a
member of Grumby's clan) was giving Grumby to Ringo and Bayard, he scolded
Grumby with, "We had a good thing in this country. We would have it yet, if it
hadn't been for you. And now we've got to pull out. Got to leave it because you
lost your nerve and killed an old woman..." (Page 180) this shows that even
Grumby's clan members were disappointed and ashamed of him. Alejandra was looked
down upon when she fell in love with John because in Mexico a woman's reputation
is her only hope in succeeding in life. If she has a bad one she will become
poor and if it is good she will marry and have a home. Alejandra's father became
worried that people would notice that she was in love with John and take it the
wrong way, which would reflect on her reputation.
Honor is defined as
person's high standing among others. It is very obvious that John Grady Cole,
Alejandra, Ringo, and Bayard all fulfill this definition. This honor was
achieved through vengeance, honoring the family, and honoring the tradition of
woman and it established a more dynamic person out of all of
them.
