Hardworking - From the first day Shane stepped foot on
Joe's ranch, he worked hard for him. The best example of this is when he worked hours
without rest alongside Joe to remove the stump that had been a nuisance to Joe for so
long.
Brave - Shane seemed to have no fear of anybody. The
battle against the ranchers was not necessarily his to fight, but he certainly didn't
shy away from it. The most prominent example of this is when Stark Wilson came to
town. He quickly made a name for himself as the best shot around. He killed Ernie
Wright, a local farmer, in a gun battle and had no qualms about killing more. Shane
decided to take a stand against him. Shane squared off with him and killed him, ending
the feud between the ranchers and the homesteaders.
Loyal -
Shane showed the most loyalty to his friend Joe. Joe offerred him a place to stay and
for that Shane felt forever grateful. He helped his friend on the farm and in fights
when the ranch hands tried to start trouble with him. But his greatest act of loyalty
came when Shane chose to walk away at the end, despite the fact that there was a deep
connection and strong feelings between he and Mrs. Starrett. He refused to betray the
man who was always acted honorably toward him.
