Blood Meridian: Difference between revisions

** There's also the chapter where one of the scalphunters {{spoiler|grabs two babies by the ankles and swings them against a rock, spilling their brains on the ground.}}

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Somewhat debatable. In a book which describes [[Gorn|the slaughter of so many people in such detail]], the {{spoiler|Kid's "death" is notably absent.}} Also, since the book is a [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|ton of symbolism wrapped in three hundred pages]], {{spoiler|the Judge dancing at the end naked is somewhat suspect.}} Still, a majority of readers come off thinking {{spoiler|the Judge killed the Kid in the outhouse}}, so the trope holds.

* [[Left Hanging]]: Most readers come out {{spoiler|saying the Judge raped and murdered the Kid in the outhouse.}} See [[Karma Houdini]] above.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: The never-seen Mr. Riddle is initially this to the Glanton Gang, which he has unleashed upon the natives of the Texas-Mexico borderlands. However, Judge Holden also fits this trope.
