■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Law as violent bargain
Reason: Authority does not offer justice but an impossible exchange structured through coercion
Related Film: Unforgiven - Middle: Family loyalty against moral survival
Reason: Blood ties become inseparable from murder, guilt, and self-destruction
Related Film: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Core: Civilization built on brutality
Reason: The frontier exposes law, revenge, family, and empire as competing forms of violence
Related Film: The Nightingale
■ Secondary Axes
- Outlaw kinship and fatal inheritance: The family bond becomes a structure that transfers violence rather than shelter
Related Film: Animal Kingdom - Frontier justice and moral corrosion: Harsh landscape removes the illusion that law is separate from savagery
