Except for the fact that she cries, begs, and pleads for him to give the money back, calling it a false god… and then chigurh gives him a chance to save his wife and he doesn’t take it… then he gets the hitchhiker killed knowing full well what’s coming for him…. Hahaha I didn’t get the lovely sentiment from his character other than the childish charm 🤷🏼♀️

He’s certainly likeable because of his familiarity, but I did not get quite the same sense. Lol I just wrote an honours essay on this book and discussed his inability to take accountability for his actions, using “fate” as a moral shield. He gets multiple people killed including Carla Jean and the young girl who hitchhikes with him. He’s not a good guy lol
Yeah I would definitely agree to disagree. In the novel he makes countless comments regarding his understanding that his life will never be the same again, they will never stop looking for him, and that he’s going to die for taking the money. Again, his childlike mannerisms make it excusable, but he certainly knows what he’s doing.
