So IDK if you are going to read this, but: A nice little oversimplified summary on how I like to think about the 3 unforgivens: I: I can't forgive the world II: I can't forgive you III: I can't forgive myself There is much more behind these, but I like this nice little approach :)

As for the lingering plot point overarching the 3 songs, that's exactly right. I had a paper in college I did that touched on that exact model as well. Of course delving deeper there's more to it, but to get the point across especially to someone hearing them for the first time that's exactly how I'd explain them.

Exactly. Or you can look at it this way: Unforgiven 1: They all are the problem. I can't forgive them. Unforgiven 2: I thought you was like me, but you are just like them after all. I can't forgive you. Unforgiven 3: I was the problem all along, not them. I can't forgive me. EDIT: And also after you have heard all of them you know that Unforgiven 1 is actually all of them combined in very short way. It talks about dying as an alone old man in Unforgiven 1 which correlates with Unforgiven 3 which is the end.

Love that you're doing the trilogy. Definitely listen to Pt. 1 and 2 back-to-back again. Toward the very end (right before you say, "HIS VOICE IS SO DOPE!"), listen closely because you begin to hear bits from Pt. 1: the main riff and the background vocals singing "I dub thee unforgiven" and "Never free, never me."
