[QUOTE="Jimmy Todd, post: 340027, member: 3926"] Along this line of thought, the women of Dallas seemed to be prone to using guns to settle issues or vent their feelngs. Sue Ellen, Kristin, Miss Ellie((the hall closet), Holly, Katherine, Sheila Foley, Michelle Stevens all resorted to firearms in some way. I wonder what Freud would say about that? In addition, they seemed more involved with violence than the men, if I recall correctly. Pam considered suicide by jumping off the roof of a high rise, Rebecca's demise was from a plane crash, Julie and Kristin fell off of buildings, Sue Ellen was involved in at least three accidents with a car, Katherine and Pam both met tragedy through cars. Guns and cars have traditionally been a part of the American mythos of freedom and the "rugged individualist" who were usually highlighted as men. Of course, there just as many women throughout history who conveyed those qualities in some way, but they didn't get the same acknowledgement. Could the depiction of guns and cars have some subtext on Dallas that could be (over)analyzed? :) [/QUOTE]
