Check out Chuck’s latest piece in The Harlequin entitled A Tragic Fire: Cormac McCarthy and Gnosticism in Blood Meridian, No Country For Old Men, and The Counselor. You can read it here.
"The archons destroy anything that doesn't fall under their dominion, kill without pause or remorse, and toy with human prey for entertainment. The most disturbing thing about them is that they always come out on top. They never lose, never die, never learn their lesson or meet their end at the hands of more righteous powers." |
