Such an attitude to his grownup daughter reveals him as a loving and sensitive person.Īpart from that, the intense feeling of responsibility is an important trait of this character. Nevertheless, he lives alone and misses his daughter whom he calls his “singular ray of sunshine” (Johnson 3). Also, women consider him quite an attractive person (Johnson 83). The main hero is admired by the local population. The sheriff is a calm, honest, and decent man who experiences the bitterness of loss but does not engage in destructive behavior to drown out his feelings. Walter is a bright enough character, and it is easy for the reader to sympathize with him because his psychological profile has quite positive characteristics. However, the man disagrees with this assumption, and it turns out that it has been an act of revenge. It is supposed that it has been a hunting accident (Johnson 36). One day, one of the four abusers is found dead. Also, he feels bad that he has been unable to achieve justice. The residents blame the sheriff for it, and Walter also feels guilty in the sufferings of the young girl from the reservation.
The murderers were found, but they had received a rather mild punishment for such a terrible crime. The setting is complicated by the fact that several years ago a Cheyenne girl was sexually assaulted. However, the work that he does cannot help him solve his problems.
