Westerns

I am choosing to write about the final gun scene and some symbols within it. in the end the quote is said "I don't deserve to die like this" and in reply "Deserves got nothing to do with it" i think that this is symbolic in the sense that he is telling him that Ned didn't deserve to die and all of the other people he has killed just now and before this all of them didn't deserve to die either, so what he is saying is that maybe no one really deserves to die at all ever, but that has nothing to do with the fact that all people die at one point in their lives, whether it is early in life, or of old age. Also a think something that is symbolic is the fact that he shot curley first, the man who has the least to do with anything that is going on, other than the fact that he has neds dead body out on display in front of his bar, which also could be argued that having ned out for display is almost worse than actually killing him.
