*** Dear God let's hope it was [[Historical Villain Upgrade]].

* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: It's difficult to walk away from the novel without suspecting the Judge to be this.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Horrifically averted, most memorably with the tree of dead babies. In one scene Judge Holden takes a small Indian boy captive after a raid on a village. He keeps the boy with him for the night, then murders and scalps him the next morning, just after he is seen "dandling him on his knee."
Line 64:
* [[Ubermensch]]
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: If you get the many references, it's [[Rule of Symbolism]] instead of [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]].
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: One reviewer of the book mentioned how, on almost every page, McCarthy has made a reference to something, including Antinomial Christianity, Gnosticism, and [[Spaghetti Western|Spaghetti Westerns]]s.
