Ennis deflects the defeat he took at Alma's tongue by attacking Hershel in front the Black and Blue Eagle Bar.

"E" is endurance

From a BBM review:

"Although it doesn't have the trappings of a holiday delight, the film, while sobering and thought-provoking, is not hopelessly depressing.  It emerges as a tribute to human endurance and even resilience."

"F" is foundering

Although Ennis and Alma's marriage was in trouble after the reunion, it had begun foundering even before then.

Aguirre made it clear when Jack showed up for the third year that he carried a grudge against him.

"H" is hurts

Alma seems to know that she hurts Ennis with her words, but she keeps on drilling deeper and deeper.

"I" is instigated

Alma's combative use of "Jack Nasty" instigated a violent reaction from Ennis.

Ennis may have expected Alma to have the patience of Job, but finally she had had enough.

Alma shows us the sadness you have when the laughing's over, and you aren't.

"M" is mounts

Jack hears the trembling of Ennis's spurs as he mounts his horse. Ennis rides easy on Cigar Butt, a good night horse, as he mounts the mountain to tend the sheep. Ennis's mounts are many in the movie.
