some people say the man gets raped but I dont think so. I think the man willingly gave up. He accepted and end up making out with the judge, possibly giving him a blowjob or whatever before getting killed by him.

The reason it seems horrifying to the guy who was looking in is mainly because he knew the boy and to witness the same kid grow up having lost his morals and getting his hope snuffed out makes it clear that in that world only Nihilism makes sense and everything is arbitrary.

Cormac McCarthy created a bogeyman who couldn’t lose. Same with No Country for Old Men. It actually decreases dramatic tension. NCFOM kills off the protagonist very incidentally two-third of the way through.

Don't bother, it's a bizarre exercise in astoundingly brilliant writing that serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than to depict the world as an endless cycle of psychotic violence and horror. I hated every moment of reading it despite finding the quality of the writing often breath-taking.

Thank you for articulating what I couldn’t. This is a lot of his writing. Ever seen The Counselor? It’s his only direct script. Filled with messy transitions and incoherent diversions. Lots of characters built up and killed off rapidly.
