In No Country For Old Men, I find the character of Chigurh to be the most interesting. I often wondered, what makes a man like that tick, obviously he is not only driven by money. Like any famous serial killer, Chigurh genuinely enjoys killing people. The concept of him flipping a coin to decide someones fate is a creepy and makes me wonder more about his backstory. We don’t know very much about Chigurh and I wish that we learned more. I always find it interesting to explore if someone is born a killer or if they are made into a killer with how they are raised and what they experience. Chigurh’s character is probably one of my favorite parts of the whole novel. It is so mysterious and every time he is mentioned I wonder more and more about how he became the way that he is. Llewellyn Moss’s character resembles a classic do it yourself mentality and almost every one of his decisions seems like one that I would chosen a different way to approach. He refuses help and is always running back into danger. The audiences frustration with and inability to predict Llewellyn’s decisions is another thing that makes this book so interesting. I think that the combination of these two characters is what really keeps this novel intriguing and sets it apart from others.

Chigurh is a very interesting and strange character in my opinion. He is a scary person based on his actions, and he is definitely someone that you would not want to mess with. Llewellyn is a character that you either like or don’t like as his actions aren’t for some of the audience. Not many people would agree with Llewellyn’s decisions, so that makes him an interesting character as usually the audience agrees with the protagonist in most novels.
