I just finished Blood Meridian last week and I had followed along chapter by chapter on litcharts. After a few chapters I just gave up on the ‘analysis’ section and read the summary just to sorta reinforce what I just read and help clarify some things. The analysis stuff drove me crazy - you hit the nail on the head - “Glanton smokes a cigar which represents the fire burning in all men’s hearts and the risks one is willing to take to enjoy a fleeting moment” Yeeesh
