Llewelyn Moss is a welder and a hunter that has seen a tour of duty in Vietnam and is cunning along with recklessness at times. “A crack sniper in the war, moss has returned to Texas where he works as a welder and lives in a trailer with his 19-yearold bride Carla Jean, whom he met at Wal-mart. McCarthy presents the couple as quietly heroic figures with deep reservoirs of loyalty and stoicism” (Deirdre). Moss’ generation is reckless and quickly evolving into creatures of the modern age. When Moss take the money he displays how he is reckless and unthinking his generation is because he commits to a deadly chase away from drug dealers and a murderous villain.

The moon-like face and bird-like body combined into a nightmarish Sandman who walks the night (Willig). Angular and lined face depicts an old mother, gently encouraging her child to sleep.

The man recognizes how easy it is to surrender to the mirage of good dreams, where the richness of color and variety of detail provides a dangerous contrast to the grey monotony of both his and his son’s reality. Often, he awakens “in the black and freezing waste out of softly colored worlds of human love, the songs of birds, the sun,” (272). Those dreams are an invitation to rest in some nonexistent land. The man recognizes this as a dangerous temptation so he forces himself to wake up and face the cruel world rather than deteriorate in a world that no longer exists.
