Inspired by the movie "Unforgiven", I want to write a Western about the same basic premise. How a reformed killer is thrust back into his old ways, and while he tries to keep a grasp on his morality, is forced back into his old ways in order to survive. But I certainly can't copy the movies plot (though it was extremely good).
So, if someone could help me develop an outline, I would benefit from it, just seeing some other ideas. Heres what I need:
Why did this killer reform himself to a normal person?
What is he doing for a profession now that he is civilized?
Why does he need to go back to his old ways?
What situation is he in that he is able to use his former knowledge?
Why does he have to resort to his full psychopathic tendencies to survive?
I really like the way Unforgiven has the main character of William Munny being a reformed savage outlaw, and his late wife being the reason he reformed. Being an unsuccessful farmer pushed him into going back to killing, though he was assassinating two cowboys that cut up a prostitute, so it was somewhat morally justified.. Then once his friend is tortured and killed, and a posse is being formed to catch him, he has to kill lots of innocent people in order to survive.
