Gary Gikmore's Letter to Nicole
Justice
Gary Gilmore’s letter to Nicole:
The extract from Norman Mailers documentary novel, “The Executioners song” is about a letter that Gary Gilmore wrote to his girlfriend Nicole. He wrote the letter when he was in jail, for killing two persons. He wrote the letter after he had spent 22 years of his life in prison.
The letter is from August the third, 1979. The letter starts with Gary telling about Nicole and her love and how he was not prepared for the kind of honest open love she gave him. Then he talks about his experience with bullshit and hostility in his life and how it has shaped him.
He is also telling about how all these bad and negative stuff he has been trough has become natural to him and how he has accepted them He is describing his cell in the prison. In the letter, he expressed that he is lonely with his thoughts and his feelings.
He is telling Nicole something about some old memories and nightmares and something about how this dreams make sense now and how that was a turning point in his life.
He starts to talk about God and the devil. He is starting to realize how prison actually matches with him. He do not know what to do, in somehow he hopes to be executed, because he do not want to rotten up in prison. He says that he has spent his life in prison to find God who he is has wanted to know for a long time. He means that he is just a victim of society’s bullshit.
In the end of the letter he asks some rhetorical questions and then he says that she is always welcome to comment and suggest things.
-“God, I Love you, Nicole”.
The themes in Gary Gilmore’s letter to Nicole:
I think that the theme is something about right and wrong and do not have a special reason why, it was just the first thing that came to my head. But if I should explain why, it would be something about morality and ethics. It could also be good versus evil.
What is justice for me?
Justice for me is “justice is served”. I think that if you have done
