Llewellyn Moss, a character from No Country for Old Men, made choices that led him to a deadly end. At first, he went through the desert, discovering drug dealers killed. There, he found one thirsty man alive, pleading for help; however, he had nothing to offer him. Continue searching, he found a suitcase loaded with 2.4 million dollars under a tree. He pondered whether to take or leave it; without hesitation, he brought it home. With the money, he brought new gear and weapons while attending in motels to avoid other drug dealers, even Anton, from finding him. What made Moss a tragic hero is the domino effect of his actions; these occurring events and choices he made resulted in a tragic death. He refused to help the thirsty men; when he returned, his identity was exposed. In addition, he is warned by Carson Wells to avoid giving them money to Anton because Anton would still kill him without remorse. Carson warned that Anton’s “principles that transcend money or drugs or anything like that. He 's not like you. He 's not even like me” (Carson Wells). Carson warns Moss that making a deal with Anton does not change the outcome of his problems. By receiving this news, Moss has to choose whether to give up the money. After Anton killed Carson, he told Moss that he “wanted the money in exchange for her safety. Otherwise, she 's accountable, same as you. That 's the best deal you 're going to get. I won 't tell you that you can save yourself, because you can 't.” (Anton). This battle between the money and his wife’s safety concluded that Moss’ choice took the wrong turn. Instead of protecting his wife, he kept the money, only to be killed by Mexicans. Not only did he suffer a tragic death, his wife was killed by Anton. He reminded to Carla Moss, “Your husband had the opportunity to save you. Instead, he used you to try to save himself” (Anton). What he meant
