Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fictionintroduced the audience to gunman Jules Winnfield ( Samuel L. Jackson ) and Vincent Vega ( John Travolta ) , who worked for crime genus Bos Marsellus Wallace ( Ving Rhames ) , but throughout the motion picture , Vincent try out to be quite unskilled , promote the question of why Marsellus kept him around . Quentin Tarantino ’s career as a filmmakerbegan in 1992 with the law-breaking movieReservoir Dogs , which move on to become a cult classic of independent movie house , but his big gaolbreak arrived in 1994 with another criminal offense movie : Pulp Fiction .
What madePulp Fictionstand out was its non - linear story and its screenwriting , which in full introduce the consultation to Tarantino ’s supremacy of pen dialog as well as his visual and tale style . Pulp Fiction , then , is make by different segment enjoin out of order and lead by dissimilar lineament , whose paths cross at some point . These characters are Jules , Vincent , Marsellus , his married woman Mia Wallace ( Uma Thurman ) , andboxer Butch Coolidge(Bruce Willis ) , but the 1 considered as the main one ofPulp Fictionare Jules , Vincent , and Mia , with Vincent appearing in four segment , including his abbreviated appearing in “ The Gold Watch ” , where he was killed by Butch .

This allowed the consultation to get to be intimate Vincent Vega quite well and see him not only at study with Jules but also accompanying Mia Wallace and trying to have some playfulness , though that night did n’t exactly go as plan . However , witness have pointed out that Vincent was actually a terrible triggerman , making them wonder why Marsellus kept him around if he was mostly useless , and there could be a couple of reasons for that .
How Vincent Vega Caused Most Of Pulp Fiction’s Conflicts
Vincent Vega was involve in most of the problems the characters go through inPulp Fiction . First , he go bad to chequer the back elbow room of the apartment he and Jules were send to to recollect the grip for Marsellus , leading to the “ divine intercession ” shot in which they could have been kill . Vincent afterward shot Marvin in the face , forcing him and Jules to call The Wolfe ( Harvey Keitel ) , and when Marsellus asked him to basically babysit his married woman for one dark , Mia almost died of an overdose after taking the drug Vincent was keeping in his jacket . Last but not least , Vincent was at Butch ’s now - abandoned flat when Butch bring back to get his father ’s Au watch , but Vincent recklessly left his gun on the kitchen counter , which Butch used to kill Vincent when he got out of the toilet . In improver to that , Vincent had a drug problem , which led to the incident with Mia .
Marsellus give him moderately easy tasks that Vincent could n’t get through without some problems in the summons : he send him with Jules , his best gun , to get the travelling bag , asked him to take Mia to dinner party and bring her back home , and sent him to Butch ’s apartment . It ’s potential , then , that Marsellus kept Vincent around thanks toVincent being the brother ofReservoir Dog ’s Vic(Michael Madsen ) , as Vic had a satisfying repute , so it could have been a favour to Vic . A simpler response , however , could be that Marsellus kept using Vincent because of the latter ’s loyalty , which is always a valuable trait . Another possibleness could be that , as Vincent had just returned from Amsterdam , he was in the appendage of get back to act as a hitman for Marsellus , so the latter gave him those " simple " jobs while he readjusted – though that does n’t really justify his incompetence . Ultimately , one of those mistakes go to Vincent ’s death inPulp Fiction , which might have not been that surprising to Marsellus , after all .
