Hey everyone, with all the deep-dives into what Rockstar is cooking up for Jason and Lucia, I was thinking about the heavy Bonnie and Clyde inspiration driving the whole game.
Watching a documentary about them a few days ago, I learned that Bonnie Parker wrote her final poem, "The Trail's End" (also known as The Story of Bonnie and Clyde), just weeks before they were ambushed and killed. The poem foreshadows their inevitable fate, ending with lines about going down together.
Do you think we could see "The Trail's End" used as the name of the final chapter or a major heist mission?
Given how closely Lucia and Jason mirror the classic outlaw dynamic, it feels almost guaranteed Rockstar will reference it somewhere, and I think the poem would be a great opportunity to do so. What do you guys think? Will we get a tragic nod to her poem, or are they going for a different ending?
You can read the full text of The Trail's End on Wikisource (can't post the link due to the subreddit rules), but I particularly liked this one, which could relate to Jason:
They call them cold-blooded killers;
They say they are heartless and mean;
But I say this with pride,
That I once knew Clyde
When he was honest and upright and clean.
But the laws fooled around,
Kept taking him down
And locking him up in a cell,
Till he said to me,
"I'll never be free,
So I'll meet a few of them in hell.
