In addition, the relationship between Ethan and the Comanche contained hostility from the beginning of the film. One begins to notice that Ethan 's attempt or desire to kill Debbie and his change of heart in regard to the killing of Debbie are partly associated with his hate for the Comanche community. Ethan 's only reason for seeking to acquire revenge towards the Comanche and for despising them is because they murdered Martha, Pippin claims that throughout the film while Ethan was on his quest to " spew racist invective towards the Comanche , mutilate the bodies of dead Comanche members , shoot out the eyes of dead Indians (Pippin,2009,230)he formed his intention to kill Debbie which he intended to do because he believed it was shameful for a white girl to live among Indians(Pippin, 2009,242) , but when one pays close attention to Ethan 's behaviour one comes to discover that his opinion and attitude towards the Comanche is not aligned with his actions.
