What would be a good thesis for an essay on The Road by Cormac McCarthy?

A
good place to start with a thesis statement is to write a thesis statement that you either
believe in or a statement that you can adequately support. For a thesis statement regarding an
entire novel, I would recommend going with a thesis statement that explores a theme of the novel
or analyzes a character. One is not better than the other, and the two often work hand in hand
anyway. Characters often illustrate themes and themes can be seen through characters.


This particular novel is a visceral novel. It is a novel that is meant to get an
emotional reaction out of the reader. That's an amazing thing considering that the man and his
son are both quite emotionally flat. Their environment has completely numbed them to the horrors
that are around them. Humanity, it seems has been physically wiped out by something. The
remaining people have metaphorically lost their humanity as cannibalism and barbecuing babies is
happening....
