When Terry shows signs of weakness and hesitation about the nights proceeds in front of Johnny, Charlie artfully places a hand on Terry’s wrist a subtle signal to be quite - a sign he is ‘looking out’ for Terry. Similarly, Terry displays a deep loyalty throughout the entire film, by refusing to ‘rat’ on Johnny despite his guilty conscience simply because he does not want to ‘put the finger on [his] own brother’.
The fact that Royal, after twenty two years, decided to give his wife a divorce before marrying Henry shows how much he has grown and formed into a man who has developed the ability to think of others. Another example of this transformation is Royal’s self jeopardizing act of saving Ari and Uzi from Eli crashing the car into the house. Throughout the movie, Royal has always seemed to look out for number one, but this act put himself in danger to save his grandsons that never really knew him. Overtime, Royal has an epiphany that these last days living with his family were truly the most important and best days of his
‘you make it like it is the coin, but its you.’ This is McCarthy’s main point about choice within a violent landscape. There is no higher faith, no fate or god. The moral decisions of weather to indulge the violence inherited to us is a personal one. As Raff states it is not Chigurh that is evil ‘It is clearly money and drugs that are vehicles of ‘evil’ and the temptations that turn peple to their dark and shadowy sides’ just to enhance his thrill/pleasure of the hunt/kill... adding a frisson to the game to make it more exciting - it's nothing to do with choice. He has already made the choice to

The town decides to let him hunt off-season in order to feed his children, as they shouldn’t be punished for his affliction, which absorbs assets as any addiction is prone to.

Clearly in Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck is trying to explain how important the trait of loyalty is in life, but sometimes being loyal forces you to do things that you do not want to do or may never have done. The ultimate loyalty is killing your friend peacefully to protect him from a worse outcome. Of Mice and Men has so much disappointment for the characters yet loyalty prevails. The story is similar to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby in which the main character is constantly pursuing the American dream and believes in loyalty but in the end does not get it. The end result for both characters is the same, as they both lose in the end but were both driven by their
