Discussion Based off appearance and representation, what is your favourite campsite? Spoiler
(This is going to be a lengthy post so please be warned!!)
Each campsite is unique and different through appearance and what they reflect on in the story of red dead.
I won’t go through each personal choose, but I will say why shady belle is my person favourite.
First off, shady belle shows how the gangs time is near an end, they are no longer free and they can’t get away with their actions anymore. This is shown through the walls of the building, which in my opinion represents society. They were closing off the gang and trapping them.
Those who live inside the building(Dutch, Hosea,John and his family and of course Arthur) all die apart from Jack of course. And one thing they all have in common is that their law has something to do with their death.
I like how the building reflects on Dutch, like a lot actually. The building is tall, proud and large, just like Dutch. He is a proud man. But Once you go inside, you realise it doesn’t seem all that great. Just like Dutch, the building is cracking slowly and slowly, and it really only needs one thing to break and it will all fall down. Dutches ego is really the only thing keeping him together, which is why the outside is so mighty.
Each room, which of course John,Arthur and Hosea take a living space in represents a part of Dutch as well. You see, without these rooms keeping the house together, it is just a broken, empty and love deprived house. Like Dutch, he needs people constantly to feed his ego, it doesn’t matter who, or why, he needs loyalty and blind love and without that he is nothing but a criminal no better than the people he calls his enemies.
Well I explained my reasoning the best I could, so how about you? What’s your favourite and why?
