Django

Django, just like Dave in The Man Who Was Almost A Man,  began the story as a slave. Dave was having complications with himself, his self imagine and his persona. Just as in Django, his self image is automatically shown when we first meet him. In a line of slaves, he is seen as an object more than a man. He is kept it line, like cattle, with chains on both his hand and feet marching towards the distance. Like Dave, I see that Django has something to prove to someone, especially since they feel like objects in their position. Dave decides that a gun is what is going to give him power; just as Django begins to feel power when he receives a gun for the first time.  As the story continues, both in my opinion share the same aura of innocence. When Django is in the bar waiting for the police to come, the look on his face is priceless; his face is the epitome of innocence. When both are faced with death for the first time, especially at their own hands, they have equally similar expressions. In the story when Dave finally takes his gone, and shoots Jenny the farm girl he is in shock. He does not realize this weapon he has been carrying around actually had the capacity to kill someone. He finds her, accidentally shoots her, and tries to hide her body. In Django with his first death he felt very similar. He was very awestruck by killing a man near his son, especially for the price of money. Near the end when both have done terrible things, again there is a similarity although they both decide to handle them differently. Dave runs away on the train the moment he has the chance. Django has to escape after he is captured but returns to collect his wife and finish killing the several other people who has wronged him and his benefactor.
