Evidently, both Fargo and No Country for Old Men, were placed is very different settings and unfolded different messages. Both involving sheriffs and both being on the "murder bandwagon" (one after another), their roles and actions played out differently. No Country for Old Men, being placed in West Texas, and Fargo, being placed in Minnesota, ultimately the ways of life are contrasting.
We see a need for money in No Country for Old men and in Fargo. Both felt the need to murder many individuals in the process while keeping everything on the DL.
However, the power Marge had in Fargo is what stood out to me the most. As a women, in these kind of films, you don't see that often. The power she withheld throughout was evident. People relied on her, and she had the ability and the courage to do what she needed to do. Most men play that role, like the sheriffs in No Country for Old Men. Coen made a distinct contrast between the two films by adding Marge into the mix. Marge, towards the end of the film, went into the woods in search of the man and she found him. Most girls I know would be petrified to do that. She stood strong and her strength shined throughout.
