Re: Friends and enemies and Matt

Exactly! And I think that it's actually easier for Frank and him to have that conversation than Foggy and Matt for the simplest reason that Frank has no prior relationship or expectations of him. They don't already have feelings and assumptions about each other that would interfere in it, and Matt literally can't squirm his way out of the conversation. At the end of the day, Matt and Frank are both very literal and serious about their philosophies, and neither of them is stoppable except by their own deaths.

I think that Matt's Catholicism also gives him an intense, devout sense of his own martyrdom being beautiful and him being doomed to it no matter what he does, as well as a sense that he's willing to dive headfirst into suffering because it is almost a form of love for him--to do so much, to take on what must be done.
