I think Unforgiven is also a story about how Western myths are born out of events that are anything but mythic. Even after seeing English Bob's mystique torn down, we can the wheels turning in Mr. Beauchamp's head after Munney guns down Little Bill's men at Greely's at the end of the movie. You get the feeling that, by the time the story gets back east, the events in Big Whiskey will be embellished for their readers and this distorted version will become the official legend.
