Was Ennis foolin when he threatened Jack?
MaineWriter:
Victoria had a wonderful post 1000 years ago (over on TOB or the old CT) where she analyzed the conversation as a lover's quarrel and said, "this is how lovers fight." Understood exactly why each one said just what they did when they did. It made perfect sense to me. Vic, you reading this? Any chance you have that post saved somewhere on your hard drive or wherever??

I definitely think it was something he just said in the heat of the moment, because Jack did admit to it, and I didn't see Ennis running for his hunting rifle...

It was all talk spoken in anger. Ennis couldn't possibly have killed Jack. Just another show of his impotency/powerlessness in life. As it is, Ennis can hardly stand to live without him.
RouxB:
No he didn't mean it! He was just lit up and talking trash. It was just his way of emphasizing his point and he you when Ennis gets heated, he is none to subtle. I love him.
