Well ... McCarthy isn't one for Hollywood endings. That he leaves it unresolved is, well, his style and what draws a lot of people to his work. That said, I do believe the focus is far more on relationships than it is on some sort of cautionary tale. The whole reason the event that caused the world to be what it was isn't really addressed is because it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what happened, it matters what is.
Anyhoo, I'm not trying to convince you that what I'm seeing is right - we're just chattin'. See, I can't stand that books are taught. There's more than one way to see a lot of stuff out there and it's a shame that some people will try to tell you what you get out of a book is wrong. It just isn't ... er, unless it's, like, way off base. Some professor or teacher sitting there telling students what a book is really about is laughable to me. The only person that could know is the author and unless they've said something about it there's no real way to know. Hell, a lot of times they don't even know.
