The nihilism embraced by the Judge is as outsized as his body. Certainly, it goes beyond anything found in modern English literature, and, arguably, ideologically goes beyond anything asserted by Nietzsche. This is not to say, however, that McCarthy does not find prompts in Shakespeare and Melville, and encouragement in the novels of Golding. The words “nothing,” a “waste,” a “void” occur singly or in combination throughout Blood Meridian as the truth of things, their “bone” as it were. And the savage landscapes of desert and plateau are covered in bones, which at once recalls Ezekiel’s plain of bones and the paintings of Georgia O’Keefe. The instinct of the outlaws is to cover these landscapes with blood and add to the mountain of bone. This is the world of the Judge, the one world of Nietzsche, transient, painful, violent, and without rhyme or reason.

This blog is new to me and there are some things that we must think of before we go into conclusions. I want to do some research about this thing and what are the aspects that are covered by nihilism. There will be some generalizations and there will be conclusions that we be made, but for sure there are some adjustments that are needed to be made in this study to be properly done. I promise myself that I will not give up no matter what for this goal to be alive. We must keep on going for that goal to be there in front of us and we will not stop no matter how tough the road is.
