Zhilin's life

It is also the males who are shown to be greedy. Rather than only taking one hostage, they decide to take two. However, even though we see the bad side of masculinity, forgiveness is shown at the end when Abdoul spares Zhilin's life. In some respects, the way that both genders are shown is stereotypical. The women can be seen as maternal and avoid conflict where as the men show physical strength but are mentally weaker.

The Bonnie Situation

The next chapter in the film is referred to as 'The Bonnie Situation', this sequence jumps back to part two of the film where Vincent and Jules retrieve Marsellus's briefcase. The opening scene here is of a man we've never seen before holding a gun whilst hiding in a bathroom. The point of view has shifted this time round to that of this mystery gunman lying in wait. The gunman comes out of the bathroom and shoots until he is out of ammunition, both Vincent and Jules are unhurt by any of these bullets and proceed to open fire and kill the man.
