@taylorclogston Well-thought out. I actually agree with a lot, though I think some things might have more than one sensible way of looking at it. Like, while I can see that Matt thought possessively about Jesse, I’m not sure that shows up quite as omnipresently as you saw it–though perhaps I’m wrong.

I do want to amend my statement about Matt’s father. He was definitely a villain. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so betrayed by a fictional character. However, what I meant was I don’t think he enjoyed suffering or his actions like the classic mustache-twirling villain. He was a coward, not a Hitler.

The only thing I disagree with is that God didn’t save anything. I think Earl is the redemptive focus of the story. However, with everything awful that happened in the story, I could have appreciated a larger payoff as well. 😛
