Humans are doomed to repeat themselves; that is our biggest sin, because we do not learn. Blood Meridian shows violence as a consistant part of human nature, set mostly in a dark, grey Texas of the 1800s. It tries to answer the question if we even deserve to live because of our acts, or rather, if we are meant to inherit violence, because that may be our only legacy. Or even if violence is right, because nature has shown that is the only part we act well; Judge Holden is the protagonist of these ideals, one of the most compalling characters i've seen, and one i think i'll think about for a long time. He represents devil himself, or rather, our evil side. He sorrounds himself with bad people, or leads them to that path. Thus, he is not a judge, but a walking contradiction of himself. He judges people based on their evil side, rather than being a true man of his own duty. I must admit, i was compelled by some of his arguments(not literally, off.), which gave the lecture a far more immersive experience thanks to the amazing prose. I was conflicted on the book while reading it, but it's one also where i have great thinkings about it, that's why i am giving it 5 stars

Probably one of the most depressing pieces of media i have ever consumed. It kinda reflects our current reality in may aspects which makes the book even better, showing that chasing a materialistic life(or similar things) and forgetting of the friends and family members close to you or many other important things, is going to lead only to suffering
