The key to whatever could possibly happen. He is really the most important character in this story.

I think there’s one possible outcome here, and I’m pretty confident! So, this is what will happen; Miller will get injured. Maybe gets too greedy, and a buffalo charges him. Miller had previously made Schneider go easy on Will, so if he’s not there to do that all hell could break loose between them. Additionally, these characters are all unified BY Miller. Miller also knows the way home. So he really is (1/2)

This book is genuinely so good. I feel like I’m genuinely stuck with these characters, and i feel like we’ve seen all of their vices. Miller, a generally calm guy, LOVES the hunt. He loves to kill. He loves shed blood. Schneider is lustful. Hoge is an alcoholic. Williams is trying to understand himself, and begins to unravel himself at the end of chapter 5. He is becoming them, in a way.

“‘Fred,’ Miller said quietly, ‘when you crawl away from here, crawl away quiet. If these buffalo spook, I’ll shoot you.’” Genuinely chills.
