No Country For Old Men Essay

From watching the Coen Brothers movies Raising Arizona and No Country for Old Men one would think that the two movies are not really similar at all. Raising Arizona is a comedy about a struggling couple who decide to steal a wealthy man’s baby, while No Country for Old Men is more of a drama where a man finds a suitcase with two-million dollars in it and a man comes after the brief case killing pretty much anyone in his way.

The harsh treatment Meursault endures for refusing to believe in justice also results in his death; he remains unrepentant when the prosecutor faces him with the severity of the murder. The absurdity of justice becomes apparent. Meursault decides that death is inevitable whether he argues his case or not and thus “[accepts] the rejection of [his] appeal” (114). The justice system may be perfect in anyone else’s eyes, but Camus proves its absurdity: it is unmeasurable and is unforgiving. Meursault’s certainty in the hopelessness of justice is unacceptable for most, who would grab at any chance to keep themselves out of prison.
