Unforgiven

10 Scenes that Demonstrate Being Unforgiven

1. One scene that represented being unforgiven is when Ned's wife didn't want him to go with Will because of what they did back when Will was still into killing and robbing.

2. Another scene that represents unforgiven is in the billards place when the women are questioning why all that the sheriff is going to do is whip the men that cut up one of their faces.

3. The scene where the women are adding up all their money so they can pay a man to kill the two men that cup up that girls face.

4. I guess it's not really a scene but I think a symbol of being unforgiven in this movie is how Will treats himself. I don't think that he has really forgiven himself for what he has done.

5. Another scene to me that represents being unforgiven is when Will is leaning over his wifes grave. I don't think that he has forgiven her for dieing. Although she can't help it but he still always thinks of her.

6. The scene where the sheriff whips Ned even though he didn't do anything because he thinks that he killed that man. They torcher him so bad that they end up killing him.

7. I think a scene that shows being unforgiven is when the kid is sitting by the tree and he says that he could never be like Will becasue he just killed the man that cut up the girls face.

8. Another scene is when English Bob is leaving and the biographer stays behind to get the real story. I don't think English Bob has forgiven the biographer.

9. I think the scene where English Bob and the sheriff meet shows being unforgiven. I don't think that the sheriff has forgive English Bob for what he did in his past.

10. This last one isn't really a scene but I think that Will's mother-in-law hasn't forgiven him for marring her daughter.
