There's Arkansas, bounty
hunters, snakes real, human, and symbolic, being rescued from a snake pit
by a very errant knight, a display of the gratuitous slaughter that comes when you take the law in your own hands, a deep commentary on place, displacement, the state of
nature, and the techno - forces of the modern world and modern government, solidly American thoughts on law, property, justice, and keeping your word, and
so forth and
so on.
