Quote #4
Nothing wounded goes uphill, he said. It just doesn't happen. (1.3.42)
This line is a lie. Llewelyn is facing an uphill battle from the moment Chigurh gets on his trail, but that doesn't prompt him to give up. He keeps going, even when he is wounded. Okay, to be sure, he doesn't make it in the end; maybe the sentiment should be nothing wounded goes uphill without dying.
Quote #5
If you knew there was somebody out here afoot that had two million dollars of your money, at what point would you quit lookin for em?
That's right. There aint no such a point. (1.3.142-1.3.143)
Llewelyn knows about the danger involved when he takes the money. That proves how persistent he is. Even though he knows he will always be on the run—you know, for his whole life—he still takes the dough. He is confident. Maybe over-confident.
Quote #6
By the time he dragged himself shivering out of the river he was the better part of a mile from where he'd gone in. His socks were gone and he set out a jog barefoot toward the standing cane. (1.3.173)
You don't get much more determined than you are if you're walking through the desert without shoes or socks. No shoes, no socks, no problem? All righty.
