초록
Our contemporary society appears to have more serious violence than in the past, but Cormac McCarthy tells us that this notion could be wrong. He says that our human history has always been a history of blood and violence. This article studies the significance of aging and old men with violence in our society by reading one of McCarthy’s bloody novels. No Country for Old Men. At the end of this novel, old sheriff Bell finally gives up on his job to catch the serial killer, and decides to leave the village. And I would construe his decision as the old man’s wisdom to bequeath his hard task to the younger and stronger generation. He admits and accepts that he cannot accomplish this hard endeavor by himself. This old man just knows when to quit. McCarthy suggests that human history has been founded by the old and the young together. Furthermore, McCarthy tells us that people have always had and will have hope as long as they try to find wise ways to overcome our violent reality.
