Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
The Mud Bean by Annie Proulx
Macbeth by Shakespeare
All three of these titles are similar because of the boringly aggravated language use. Sadly, due to this, there isn't much to discuss. McCarthy's is more musical than Proulx with excerpts like ' Days of riding where there rode no soul save he.' compared to 'He kepthis butt cocked to one side, his feet up on the chute rails so the bull...' Shakespeare's writing is by far the most musical, the way the poetry flows together in all of the passages plus with the rhyming,
Second Witch:
'When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.' The language elevation for all three is moderately high to high and they are all connotative, the sound of the books is what really separates them.
