Američki mit i tematizacija nasilja u Cormac McCarthyjevom romanu Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West
When analyzing the idea of violence within contemporary American fiction a large number of authors and novels appear offering a variety of interpretations of this concept. Nevertheless in most cases the presented violence has a universal value which makes it difficult to be contextualized within a specific national, in this case American, literary production. It is the Western genre that provides an adequate overview of the interaction between notions such as violence, nation and literature, emphasizing at the same time the importance of violence in creating various mythological structures. Cormac MyCarthy in his novel Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West reinterprets the narrative structure of the Western genre together with the notion of the American myth. He achieves that by unifying historical violence and the symbolic value of violence, which results in the construction of a new type of Western novel.
