Unpacking the Underlying Messages of Colby's Passing

Of all cowboy dramas on the television today, 'Yellowstone' prides itself on mirroring real-world conflicts and harsh livelihoods of the 'underdogs of the American West'. Emphasizing this factor further, the television drama incorporates the undiluted ferocity of the environment that these cowboys constantly battle. On such life struggles projected in the series, after reaching their peak emotional involvement with Colby as a respected cowboy and human, audiences saw the sense of self-retribution reflected in the event as part of exploring cowboy reality. Every element intertwined within Colby's side of the story also touches on both heartbreaking situations we often associate cowboy narratives to in deep empathy, and intense existential crises depicted simply with emotional care. While it may initially appear jarring to audiences when such cherished characters bite the dust in an unforeseen incident that their own line of work is notorious for (especially if tragic mortality is rarely told this unashamedly on other fiction TV shows made with similar themes currently), it seems an additional element behind carrying on with storytelling elements like unexpected changes at core life facets allows reaching deeper empathetic impact that leads away emotions one stands with – so life – goes on.
