The sheriff represents the highest political values in the West. He believes in equality, fraternity, understanding and peace, but he naively or ideally believes that these principles can be unconditionally applied to the moment of confrontation between the two civilizations, so he is not only criticized by the indigenous people. Hostile, but also ridiculed and bullied by civilized people of the same race. The colonel and his subordinates represent another value, that is, violence can only be imposed on those who cannot be defined as civilized or native people. This is probably also the value of the indigenous people. In the end, no one is the winner. The sheriff’s ideals can’t match the cruelty of reality, and the colonel’s principles of violence make him reap the consequences. Therefore, in the two faces of politics, violence cannot be regarded as the ultimate value, and equality is conditional.
