PhiloFargo - Characters & Cast. Character Analysis. Marge Gunderson. Frances McDormand.Marge's character does not have a traditional arc of change; rather, she is a constant force of decency and competence whose steadfastness is reaffirmed. She begins as a smart, cheerful, and capable police chief and ends the same way. Her journey through the gruesome case challenges her understanding of human nature, but it does not break her moral compass.
Explore the symbolism and philosophical themes in "Fargo" by Joel Coen.The pervasive snow and white landscapes symbolize multiple concepts. On one hand, the whiteness represents a veneer of purity, innocence, and moral clarity, embodied by Marge. On the other, the vast, empty, and blindingly white landscape reflects the characters' isolation, the bleakness of their situation, and a kind of moral void.
