Chigurh and Bell

As I was reading today, it struck me that Chigurh and Bell are complete opposites, not just in their personalities, but also in what they represent in the story. Now obviously every story has a good guy and a bad guy, but what makes these two interesting is that they are sort of in the same situation and they both respond differently. They're in a position where they can do almost anything they want, Bell because being a county sheriff in Texas apparently as no restrictions, rules or guidelines, not only that but there is apparently no official county law so there's really nothing official to uphold. Chigurh is completely free simply because he's smart enough and bad enough to get away with it. So they both live in a lawless world, Bell decides to do what is right, he opposes criminals and protects the citizens, and Chigurh just does what he wants, which for a psychopath like him tends to be evil. He kills people like it's a bodily function, and in some cases he may believe that he is right to do so. In the scene with Chigurh and the gas station proprietor, Chigurh seems annoyed at the fact that the other man owns the gas station because he married into it, rather that earning it properly. He felt that he had to test this man's luck further with the coin toss. He refuses to call the out-come for the man claiming that it wouldn't unfair and even a moral wrong, indicating that Chigurh has some twisted sense of right and wrong. That really is what makes Chigurh a dangerous and interesting villain, because he thinks that he is in the right.
