Character Role Analysis

William Munny

There's no doubt about it, this is Will Munny's story. While we get plenty of plot developments that involve other characters (Little Bill chief among them), the film is really about Munny's reversion to his former ways, and about how he is, at the end of the day, unforgiven.

He claims and claims and claims that he "ain't like that no more," but the reality is, he is like that. That is why the film becomes less about killing the cowboys for money and more about Munny getting his revenge on Little Bill Daggett for killing Ned Logan.
