NOW I know
By looking over SparkNotes to review the major points of the book before I took the AR test (and I'm so excited, I finished the book practically on time!!!), I read an analysis and it said that Marian and Shane both have feelings for one another, but Shane knew that he couldn't take Marian away from Joe and Joe knew that they had feelings for one another but he also knew that Shane was a good man and he was very understanding. Finally, there is CLOSURE here. I really don't like confusion.
But I think I have figured out Shane's past. When he says something to the extent of, "When a man kills someone in a town, he can't stay", he's meaning that that is his past. That is what he is running away from - THE LAW. THAT is why he doesn't carry a gun - becuase he doesn't want people to think that he could kill someone. But I think that Shane is a good man, so perhaps the only people he kills are those who DESERVE to die (although I don't think many people deserve to die). Now he is probably going to go onto the next town, fall in love with a married woman (doesn't that sound bad), help the husband out, and kill the husband's enemy, then move on again. Wow. That was sure a weird book.
