I like your point about doing the one good thing to put his sins behind, but I can't help but think that there may be more. I don't think it is really important to the point of the book though, it is just a question I had in the back of mind as I was reading. There were definitely positive lessons to take from the book.

One interesting thing here not in the movie. The gunfighter Wilson was just a shade too fast. He was able to draw quickly enougn to wound Shane. In the movie, Wilson was unable to hit Shane who was wounded by someone using a rifle from above. I think there is significance in the fact that Wilson was able to draw fast enough to wound Shane. Notice how Bobby made Shane say that Wilson couldn't have drawn fast enough to hit him if Shane had been in practice. Shane knows this wasn't really the case but agrees with Bobby to humor him.
