re: Just finished Blood Meridian

Just finished it today and I’m of the opinion that the ending is ambiguous. *Spoilers* below
I can see how it could be taken literally that the Judge killed the Kid in the outhouse at the end but I think it’s a metaphor. I think the Kid found the little girl hiding in the outhouse and raped and killed her himself, and that was the naked Judge finally “embracing” him. When the two men going down to the jakes find a third man urinating in the mud telling them not to go in, I think that third man was the Kid.
What are your thoughts? I’m not married to this theory, it’s obviously plausible that the Judge killed both the girl and the Kid in the outhouse but I have a feeling the man telling the others not to look was the Kid himself.

The Judge killed the Kid. It’s a metaphor for death. You can’t escape it.
