In Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove," the character Call is portrayed as someone who holds onto grievances as if they were treasures. This suggests that he values even the smallest slights or injustices, treating them with significant importance. This behavior reflects a deep-seated need to acknowledge and remember personal wrongs, illustrating how his past experiences shape his present mindset.
Call's tendency to cling to grievances could be interpreted as a form of emotional currency, highlighting his complex relationship with memory and resentment. It underscores the human tendency to let small grievances linger, impacting one's outlook on life and interactions with others. Through this characterization, McMurtry explores themes of pride, honor, and the weight of the past on personal relationships.
Give Call a grievance, however silly, and he would save it like money.
