Christopher Vogler The Writers Journey
— the C A L L of his own spirit to fight well, and the C A L L of temptation to cheat
Marsellus and collect a lot of money.
Butch C R O S S E S A T H R E S H O L D as he leaps from a window into a
dumpster. H e boards the cab and begins stripping off the attributes of a prizefighter,
leaving this part of his life behind. In a T E S T S , A L L I E S , E N E M I E S scene, his
attitude is probed through his conversation with Esmerelda Villalobos, the woman
cabdriver from Colombia. She explains her name has a beautiful, poetic meaning
("Esmerelda of the Wolves"), and Butch says his name, like most American names,
doesn't mean anything. Again the note of cultural relativity is sounded. She is morbidly
curious about what it feels like to kill a man. Instead of horrifying her, it seems to
turn her on. Everything is relative. Butch himself offers a rationalization for having
killed the other boxer
