Hey, do you have an analysis on the Sean/Lenny conversation about hate? I wanna hear your opinions

I hadnt actually heard of this convosation before, but it is quite interesting.

It is a bit hard to explain but this convosation is a fine example of "When I'm gone they'll just find another monster" but not from the side of the law but from the common people.

Sean hates on lords and kings, even when they are gone because he doesn't have anyone else to hate. Lenny clasifies it as "Old World Problems." And the reason why he is hating on them is because people need to hate, people need someone to blame: "if there ain't no kings to hate, and no lords to hate, who are we going to hate to pass the time?"

Lenny however is facing a new dilema. "New World problems" so to speak. Lenny's mother was a slave but she was safe when she went into town, Lenny is a free man but he is at the risk of lynching when he walks into town. He ain't sure who to hate, the slave owners or the men who freed him.

First there were the slave owners whom they hated, then the people who freed them came around and though they gave them freedom, they also put them in danger. Suddenly there was a new monster to hate.

The whole idea is that people need to hate, they need someone to blame, once one person is gone there is always someone new, and it isn't just in these big serious dilemas that we can see it, we can also apply it to our common lives.

People used to hate those who kept them out of school through laws and discrimination, but when they were allowed into school they started hating school because it was boring. People became so privillaged that they made the privillage the enemy. Humans naturally need someone to hate.

Is Sean MacGuire Illiterate?

I’m positive everyone in the Red Dead Redemption 2 community is aware Lenny and Sean had reading lessons together, but it seems to be a common assumption because of this that Sean is utterly illiterate? I’m going to share my views and opinions on this! Of course, nothing is completely confirmed so again, just my opinion.

Firstly, Sean has been to school - Some fans may or may not know this, but Sean was sent to a reform school throughout some of his teenage years. The education system was definitely poor, with the focus of the teachers being on punishment and order, rather than the actual education. I am definitely not saying they put any effort in to make him Shakespeare, but it’s highly likely he will have picked up the basics as they taught him and the other boys English. It just doesn’t seem likely to me at all that he will have sat in school for however long with absolutely no ability to read, while being faced with words every single day.

Secondly, the reading lesson misunderstanding - This is where the assumption from many fans came from. Lenny was attempting to teach Sean to read, right? However, looking closer and really reading the dialogue, we can find something else that’s implied. Lenny is attempting to get Sean to read books. Isn’t that just teaching him to read? Well, not entirely. It doesn’t imply Sean is illiterate from my perspective, but does imply Sean will not read books, he doesn’t value it, he finds it silly and just doesn’t want too. Lenny, as his best friend and a book reader, has these lessons to change his views. He is not teaching Sean how to spell “c-a-t” and “t-h-e”, he is actually reading him books and attempting to get him to do the same.

Lenny: When we doing some reading?

Sean: Not now, Lenny, please. I’ve almost got it, anyhow!

Lenny: I told you I’d have you reading.

I can definitely see where the implications that Sean is illiterate is coming from, but can you also see where the implications that Lenny wants to get Sean into books and teach him literature is coming from?

Sean: Look, what’s the point of reading anyhow? Just puts silly ideas in me head.

Lenny: Exactly…that’s the point of reading.

So, I emphase again my point that Lenny is attempting to get Sean to read and enjoy books with him as his best friend. I realise assumption that Sean cannot read could be because it has been dubbed a “Reading Lesson” by the fans, and been accepted as that. However, there is a chance that it is not a reading lesson, and Lenny is just trying to get Sean to read books with him after discovering he doesn’t like them. I mean, Sean carries around a newspaper clipping about his father which has been described as sad since many people say and think he cannot read, but I want to look at this realistically and say he carries this around because, while he is no literacy genius, he can read. He has to be able to read to know the newspaper clipping is about his father.

What contrasts what I have said is:

Sean: God gave me the ability not to read.

This implies Sean does not have the ability to read. Is Sean implying he cannot read at all, or he does not have the ability to read and understand books and literature like Lenny?

Again, this is all just my opinion and perspective. I’m not Rockstar and I don’t actually know!

So, what do you think?
