Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

I have a whole new respect for this story since it is going to be the focus of the new Sin City movie.   The character of Dwight is in my opinion the star of the Sin City yarns he appears in three of the main stories this 1, The Big Fat Kill, & Family Values.  He is also probably the most relatable character in the series.  When we 1st meet Dwight he is just an average guy trying to make a paycheck he’s been down on his luck as of late because he’s got some inner demons; who doesn’t.  Like all of the yarns there is a woman central to the story, she is the catalyst to all of the events that are about to go down & like all of the stories it is about vengeance.  The woman in this story is Ava Lord she has sort of become an archetype for how manipulative & evil a femme fatale can actually be.  She is the character that started Dwight on is dark path with is inner demons before the start of this story & she is the reason he has returned to that path.  Even in her last moments Ava is still trying to control Dwight.  All of the Sin City stories have this kind ironic ending in which it doesn’t turn out well of the anti-hero of the story.
