Coyote and Buffalo

What makes Coyote appealing, despite his character flaws?
     Coyote is appealing despite his character flaws because of how convincing and persuasive he is towards Buffalo Bull. While he is persuading Buffalo to let him live I think he also somewhat convinces you to like him. The fact that the Buffalo apparently 'made him run' makes you feel bad for Coyote as well. Coyote definitely has character flaws but I think he is charismatic enough to appeal to you, at least until he tries to eat the baby cow. When he tries to eat the baby he loses all of his appeal and only has character flaws. He deserves it when the old woman runs away with the marrow. Coyote starts with appeal and then ends up losing it all to his character flaws.
