Name a better literary antagonist than Judge Holden

Literature functions as literature through allusive parallels, echoes, whatever you want to call them. As a Great American Novel attempting to distill the essence of our countries mythos and motivation, McCarthy is basically required to integrate elements of Melville into his work. This isn't 'copying'.

MOMS GONNA FREAK

Anton Chigurh

Does he rape the boy/man or kill him?

shut up corncobber

Do Veeky Forums niggas actually think McCarthy is better than Faulkner? (Who's little talked of around here, for reasons that elude me.)

Faulkner sucks almost as much cock as you, you limp-wrist faggot

both shit; faulkner less so

>tfw reading McCarthy in translation

you're right, I really can't

holden is one of the single greatest characters ever put to paper

A whiney piece of shit, then an alienated teenager, I almost felt sad for him until he raped Phoebe.

Faulkner is fucking boring, I don't care about the narration of retarded children running about in cornfields

You're a fucking dumbo. Holden and the Blanton gang were a reality. Read My Confession by Samuel Chamberlain. McCarthy used a real man named Holden who was exactly like the Judge much more than just in name.

i dont even know who "Judge Holden" is

what makes a "better literary antagonist"?

>Characters can only one trait

Both

Moby Dick isn't a character, it's a whale

Anton is less over the top and more grounded in reality while still coming off as a supernatural being

>coming across as supernatural is bad per se

babby's first novel

>faulkner
>shit
pick one

Did I say that?

Faulkner was a force of nature -- like a hurricane or a flood.

God-tier, iow.

*Almost* everything else is just people with more or less talent scribbling away with more or less success.

>t.guy who read one faulkner book in high school english

underrated post

>implying I got past the first chapter of sound and fury
I thought it would be interesting but all I got was corncobbery and meme narratology

Tell me that isn't actually supposed to be the Judge.
I reverse search the image and it find no results that aren't Judge Holden.
It's the worst figure I've ever seen in my life.

Edmund from King Lear

I feel that the timeskip undermines this theory rather strongly.
