5 interesting facts in RDR 2

Throughout its existence, the game Red Dead Redemption 2 and its main character Arthur Morgan have won many fans. The reincarnation of the main protagonist of the story from a matured bandit to an ordinary person who seeks to help others is due not only to his character and the scenario of the game. This also contributed to some individual events, which in the overall story may not have been given special significance. However, it is worth focusing on five of them.

Mickey

In the final game, Arthur's main goal is to help people. At the same time, he sincerely believes that he did not deserve the return of kindness. He does not consider it an atonement, nor does he seek to cure his terminal illness; he simply wants to help.

In the story, he periodically meets a war veteran, Mickey. Their conversations are short, and most of the time Arthur just listens to Mickey, who just needs to talk.

In the last Chapter, he realizes that the main character is ill, and tells Arthur that he is grateful to him for always listening to him. In fact, he was Mickey's only companion, and Mickey was willing to share his secret with him. The last words in their dialogue will be that Arthur has changed, and now he is a really good person.

Charlotte

A woman who has lost her husband is left alone in the middle of nowhere. Charlotte would have been doomed if not for Arthur, who decided to help her. He teaches her how to hunt, and also gives valuable advice on how to stand up for herself. A grateful woman invites him to dinner and calls him good, at which point Arthur begins to have coughing fits.

One nun told him, " You don't know who you are. Every time we meet, you are ready to help people with a smile." She knew that Arthur was a good man at heart, and she tried to tell him that. And at some point, he begins to believe that all is not lost in his life.

Woman on the road

While exploring the area beyond van horn's border, Morgan meets the McMurphy gang. This happens just at the moment when the bandits attack the crew and are going to kill the woman. Arthur helps her out of trouble and takes her to van horn. The woman is grateful to him for this, and for the first time, Morgan realizes that he did not do a good thing for himself, which is reflected later in his diary.

A man and his dog

Not far from Strawberry, Arthur meets a sad young man who has lost his pet dog. He decides to help the guy and finds the animal in the rocks, near the meeting place with its owner. Watching the reunion of two friends, Morgan comes to think that he likes to be good, and he is proud of himself.

Evelyn Miller

Arthur accepts the fact that he is a good and kind person, and really regrets that he did not have time to do more positive things in his life. Emotions are more prevalent here than a rational approach. Evelyn Miller also helps him come to this conclusion when passing one of the third-party quests in RDR 2.

In the epilogue, passing the game on behalf of John Marston, the hero meets the Dutch philosopher Evelyn Miller. The main aspect of his reasoning is the presence of God in the world around him, but he considers his own mind to be his highest happiness.

If we look again at the final entry in Arthur's journal, we can see a similarity to one of the quotations in Miller's treatise:

"Oh, there are many fools who strive for something more. Our most humiliating burden."

That is, Evelyn is not ready to admit love for his own actions, his emotional framework is limited by reason.

At the same time, he, like the main character, tries to find out, based on his experience, why he is unhappy. But, unfortunately, he can't do it. It is because of the narrowness of his views that he falls into the circle of thought from which he is trying to get out. Unlike Arthur, who doesn't ask himself why he does good things. He accepted it and just acts.

Read Dead Redemption 2-a game with a deep meaning. This is a true story of redemption, and the evidence for this can be found not only in the main plot, but also in seemingly inconspicuous details.
