Moral Ambiguity in Unforgiven

The Moral Ambiguity in Unforgiven was very clear. Every character more or less displayed it. Little Bill is a sheriff and in most films the sheriff is usually the person trying to keep the town together, and combat any evil. Although in most cases that is exactly how Little Bill behaved, there were a few actions which show the opposite. For example when he badly beat up English Bob and Will, even though they were anarmed. Although he hated assassins and wanted to prevent future ones from coming, inside the prison he performed something very odd. He wanted English Bob to take his gun and try to kill him. But the thinking behind this was that as soon as English Bob touches the gun, Little Bill would open fire. The moral ambiguity was very clear in Little Bill. But it was even more clear in Will Munny. Besides his decision of killing the two men so that he can get money to raise his kids, it was the ending which was the most interesting. At the very end he decided upon going into the inn and killing Little Bill. He first killed the owner of the inn. Little Bill called him a coward for killing an unarmed man. Next he proceeded to trying to kill Little Bill, who was armed, but not prepared obviously. But once the gun misfired, he took out his revolver, and under fire killed Little Bill, along with 4 other deputies. At this point it seems that perhaps he is actually an evil character. But that is not entirely true. Before his decision of killing the owner of the inn, he told everyone else to move away (since he was using a shotgun). He did the same thing when he was going to kill Little Bill with shotgun. This shows he still has some consience in him. He did not want to kill anyone besides the people he planned on killing (the inn owner, and Little Bill). Although he killed 4 other deputies during the shoot out, it was only done to save his own life. However after the firing has stopped, he let everyone else (armed or not) walk out. So although Will Munnys true character was shown at the end, and proved not to be the best. He still had some reason left in him.
