In a long hot summer's night, an Indian man walked down to the Third Avenue 7-11 for a Cream-sicle. He is the protagonist of the story The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Because of the dark skin and long hair, he got treated as a potential criminal offender. In this situation, he started to think about his old girlfriend, a white girl who lived in Seattle. The interracial love story did not have a happy ending. They loved each other, but also fought very often. After a period of time, they broke up. In a midnight, he decided to go back the reservation, and escaped from Seattle. At the last meeting, she said to him, “I love you, and don't ever come back.” The failure of love was not caused by other people, or a change of heart, it is because his distrust, his escape, his brutal behaviors, and his cowardice.

When the protagonist first time recalled his girlfriend, he was treated as a potential criminal offender by a cashier in 7-11. The cashier’s meaningful glance let him started to think about the white girl. She told him that he used to look her by that way. Not long after that, they broke up. An interesting thing is that he commented the meaningful glance by saying, “When one person start to look at another like a criminal, then the love is over. It’s logical (81).” In other words, he knew that he was liable for the fault of their love. However, he still said, “No, I left her and don't blame her for anything (81).” From another perspective, the protagonist was trying to save his face, and give a reason for his escape. This kind of attitude through the whole article, and makes the tune of this article so blue.

After he left 7-11, he thought again of his girlfriend. This time, the memory also about fighting. He used lamps to explain the changing of their relationship. He said, “In Seattle, I broke lamps. She and I would argue and I’d break a lamp, just pick it up and throw it down. At first she’d buy replacement lamps, expensive and beautiful. But after a while she’d buy lamps from Goodwill or garage sales. Then she just gave up the idea entirely and we’d argue in the dark (82).” Let’s think about that the lamp is an image, which represents their love. The protagonist’s girlfriend was trying to fix their relationship, but he hurt the girl over and over again. Finally, she was too tired to maintain their love. At this time, her tired and his brutal behaviors made their love untenable.

In time, the protagonist recalled his crazy dreams. Most of his dreams are about the war of Indians and whites, which are full of distress and terror. His girlfriend also appeared in his dream. Once he dreams that she was a missionary’s wife and he was a minor war chef. They fell in love just like the real world, but be caught by her husband. Finally, he got shot, then dead. After that, his soul drifted above the reservation, and watched a cruel war. The protagonist couldn't stop to dream the stories. The cruel images always stay with him, and became nightmares, especially in Seattle. Therefore, he chose to escape this city, and broke up with his girlfriend. It sounds a little bit funny, ridiculous, and pathetic. He said, “I did love her, after all, and she loved me (82).” But he was scared by his dream, and gave up their love without a fight with those dreams. His behaviors fully showed his cowardice, and aggravated the article’s pessimism.

At the end of this article, his girlfriend got his phone number from his mom, and called him after he found a job in Spokane. It is a meaningful action because in most time, if a girl called her old boyfriend, it means that she wants to repair their relationship. However, even to this day the protagonist’s cowardice and self-esteem are affect him. He did not attempt to fix their love, or he was waiting for his old girlfriend to retrieve him. Unfortunately, he might never get the answer.

In conclusion, the protagonist’s cowardice, self-esteem, and his brutal and escape behaviors made him lost his love, and lost the motive force to go forward. He had been escaping in his life. As a result, his future is thorough and despairing. Just like what he said, “There’s nothing surprising or disappointing in that. I know how all my dreams end anyway (84).”
