In-book, Holden’s eloquence is part of his villainy, he’s the dang devil 😈
And the other characters are heavily contrasted with this
And as the author, mccarthy has a stylistic purpose to writing that way outside of the holden character
Quotes are from nyt’s 1985 review https://www.nytimes.com/1985/04/28/books/blood-meridian-by-cormac-mccarthy.html
My point being, don’t go pretending you are the devil or pretending you are Cormac type guy that’s cringe
