Gabriels death
So unnecessary. He believes he shoots Tavington so he needs to just walk away believing he's dead. Instead he feels the need to carve him up after dying?
shareWho said he believed he was dead? He knew exactly where he had wounded Tavington and was aware that even if he eventually bled out he wanted to finish the job. The scene was supposed to suggest that he had changed from an honourable soldier doing what was necessary for a cause (we are better men than this) to a battle hardened man like his father who had succumbed to revenge and brutality.
Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!
I understand the purpose of the scene, how the death of his wife pushed him to brutal tactics. But i have to believe that if he thought Tavington was still alive he would've taken more precaution approaching him to carve him up.
shareif he thought Tavington was still alive he would've taken more precautionPrecaution is for the rational; Gabriel wasn't thinking. That's why it's called blind rage.

Yes exactly. Gabriel wasn't in the right state of mind.
