Zoot's rampage of violence reduces the city to a wretched no go zone where everybody is afraid to walk on the streets in case they hear the dreaded sirens of the Locust police car. - But his life finally changes for the better. Ironically it happens the night he dies. See how much irony has to do with Zoot's life? ![]() Bray calls Zoot to the mall to meet Trudy... And his daughter! She was conceived the night he and Trudy made love. His life changes one last time before the end as he holds his child in his arms... He has a daughter! Despite all the evil he has done, and all the suffering he has caused, something good has come out of something he has done. - As Zoot holds his daughter in his arms some of his old humanity stirs deep inside his soul; you can see it in his face which is why I just LOVE that episode. Very very emotional and cool. (Why couldn't they have done as well with Dal's death???) Zoot is saved from the path of evil although he (and we) don't know it yet. Lex and Ryan now attack Bray for bringing the evil leader of the Locusts into their home and it is here and now in his final hour in this life that Zoot finally redeems himself and becomes the ultimate tragic hero. Zoot (or it it Martin?) comes to the help of his brother and he ends up falling from the balcony, to his death. Zoot is finally dead but his soul if clean and he can finally rest in peace.
God, he's earned it.And now let's compare all of that story, of evil despair hope and redemption, with another story; - The story of the Guardian...
