An arrow struck a wounded place
Fun things, just my thoughts đ¤
Quaritch was shot in the arm by Spider, and later, when trying to rescue him, he was unable to lift him, symbolizing his ineffectual attempts to connect with his son, which manifest in twisted, flawed treatment even when he has good intentions.
Neytiri was shot in the back by Varang (who channels grief in a destructive way) in the same spot as Neteyam, mirroring sonâs wound, which symbolically represents her wounded heart after his death.
Jake was shot in the leg by Ash warrior, which can be seen as a symbol of his past disability and a current weakness fueled by his past. May also allude to the biblical story of Jacob, who was left with a damaged leg after wrestling with God for a blessing.
As someone previously noted, everyone was shot on their dominant side: Quaritch and Jake are right-handed, while Neytiri is left-handed.
All of these shootings happened before the characterâs inner healing, or, in Quaritchâs case, before giving himself time for it by escaping death at Neytiriâs hands.
