Being Shot < Being Cuckold
Wow, are we already on Chapter 7? I can’t believe it, but here we are. We’ve been through a lot so far. So far every character except the Gay Guy and the Guy who’se just got out of Prison (oh and Rosie the Nosy Neighbor) have revealed to have committed infidelity (That’s five married people, two couples and a fifth whose wife we have yet to meet), guns have been drawn, there’s been a sex scene, the police are involved, and a shot has been fired leading to a man down.
The real genius part of Chapter 7 for me is the fact that Twan (Gwen’s brother), a man who just got out of prison and arriving at his sister house gets shot, handles getting shot with much more reservation and rationality than Sylvester had shown when he found out his wife slept with another man, even though he had just betrayed her the night before. I’d like to think that if I got shot on accident by my brother-in-law I would wig the f$ck out. Here “The Criminal” is a much more pious and zen-like character than “The Everyman”.
