One scene that is most noteworthy in this movie is the last scene in Which Clint Eastwood's character, William Munny, finds himself, now as he was long ago, getting revenge on those who killed his friend. Before he went in we see him riding into town he throws a empty bottle of whiskey to the ground, so we know that he has completely reverted back to before his wife. He first kills the owner for leaving his friend outside the store as a warning.Sheriff Little Bill calls him a coward for killing an unarmed man and he just says that the owner should have armed himself. Little Bill doesn't seem to worry that he will die. He only flinches when the gun misfires and he didn't see that coming. And only when he knows that he is about to die does he break from his tough guy routine. He says that he doesn't deserve it that all he wanted was his town to be peaceful.
Munny is the only character with the opportunity to expand his notoriety by giving the writer his story. He is the only one to refuse the writer from his story. Afterward as he leaves the town he tells them to bury his friend properly or he will come back. It goes to show that he won't be changing back to how his wife made him. He will be like this for the rest of his life.

What up Peter. I thought it was a point including that he refused the writer. I say that because right before Will leaves town, the writer had a chance to follow him for the story, but he didn't. I think that's interesting because I think the writer didn't follow him because Will really was that cold-hearted killer he used to be.
I think that Little Bill was actually very cowardly. I dunno if you said anything about him being not very cowardly besides the point when he is about to die. Anyway, in the scene where Munny is pointing the gun to his head, is one of the moments of cowardice in little bill. Mostly because he says that he does not deserve it and he is listing reasons why hy doesnt, instead of taking it like the man he sets himself up to be. Also i think that he is very cowardly when he beats the crap out of anyone carrying a gun, he doesnt even give them a chance to fight back. and not only does he beat them up, he does so by knocking them on the ground and kicking them while their down until they cannot get up, THEN he starts to act like a couragous sheriff who just unarmed a notorias killer
