Who is winona on justified

Now, as much as I loved the Raylan-Winona exchange this story focused on, I have to bring up another great conversation from the episode. At least and excerpt of the chat between Boyd Crowder Walton Goggins and Augustine: Boyd: "Why you're cutting off the tail of my cousin and offering him up is opaque to me. Big ups, "Justified. Want more? To that I say: oh please! Putting the family of the main character in peril is the third-worst cliche in the history of action-crime entertainment.

The worst is when the hero and the villian fight it out with their bare fists in an abandoned warehouse. And this is partly because Winona was one of the few characters in Justified who felt like someone who belonged in our world rather than the one depicted on-screen. It's easy to fall under the show's spell, but Justified existed in a heightened version of our own reality.

The series took various problems affecting the men and women of Appalachia, a region regularly ignored not only by Hollywood but by the rest of the country, and embellished them in the name of drama. And it often made for excellent television. The dynamic between Raylan, a laconic and cool modern cowboy, and Boyd Walton Goggins , a charismatic outlaw with lofty aspirations and a quick tongue, was nothing short of electric, and their relationship was the blood that pumped through the show's veins.

But it also wasn't terribly realistic. Where the show was realistic was in its portrayal of Winona -- and Raylan's relationship with Winona, which often served as the show's conscience. Their dynamic reminded viewers that Raylan wasn't always right, and that he was actually a pain in the ass who had the ability to change but chose not to.

And instead of attempting to change Raylan herself, Winona came to accept that he was who he was, at least until he'd dealt with the specters of his father and Harlan that had haunted him all his life. While everyone watching at home was enamored with the charismatic lawman who was as quick with a quip as he was with his sidearm, Winona saw through him. And even though she loved him, she also chose to walk away while pregnant with his unborn child, which is not necessarily an easy thing to do.

It'd be awfully easy to paint Winona as the bad guy in this situation; it's unfortunately common to blame a woman for a man's faults if the man in question is deemed cool or interesting enough, and the show certainly did its part to glamorize Raylan. But Raylan never blamed Winona for her actions, which included leaving him for their realtor. And if we let Raylan's and Boyd's many bloody transgressions slide but attempt to hold Winona accountable for things she's allegedly done wrong -- which mostly amount to not wanting Raylan to end up dead -- it only furthers the unfair standards women are held to.
