To start off, the hero archetype is seen through Major Marquis Warren’s detective skills and recalls of his past. As a hero archetype consists of one after an ultimate objective and needing to overcome obstacles to achieve this goal, Warren checks out perfectly with this. Primarily with his objective of simple transporting his dead bounties he had collected on the way. However, the obstacle of being stuck in the cabin by the blizzard kept him from easily doing so which led him to slowly discover uncanny situations concerning the people of the house. In the end, this archetype is completed through his mass killings to achieve his survival through the days stuck in the cabin and additionally do the right thing, resolving the issue. The group of companions consists of the ones who sought the freedom of the prisoner from John Ruth.

The evil situation is made known through the group of companions seeking to kill all in the cabin against the good situation made known through humble want of survival by the ones not in on the rescue attempt of the prisoner and the overall good doing. Good is ultimately demonstrated to win through Warren’s uncovering of the wrongdoer’s motives.

In The Hateful Eight, Major Warren’s recall of his past memories of things such as the taste of the stew in the stagecoach cabin stop from childhood form a superior-like ability against the evil to understand how the real owner was gone for two months but one person in the cabin was able to replicate the same taste he understood.

During the summer of 1984, Calvin Johnson trudges knee deep through a swamp in the wetlands of South Georgia. As snakes brush past his legs, he marches in line with nine other men, each dressed in an orange jumpsuit, swinging a razor sharp bush axe in collective rhythm. His crew entered the swamp at dawn and they will not leave until dusk. Guards, armed with shotguns, and equally violent tempers, ignore the fact that the temperature has risen well above 100 degrees and push the men even harder. Suddenly, an orange blur falls to the ground and a prisoner from Wayne Correctional Institution lies face down in the swampy floor. As guards bark orders at the unconscious, dying man, Johnson realizes "the truth of the situation, and the force of injustice just incapacitates" him.
