How does omar little die

Omar's premise was so interesting that he very well could have carried the entire show as the protagonist, but part of what made him feel even more special was that he came only as a particularly fascinating piece in a much larger tapestry. The Wire 's ensemble cast featured few characters as mythic Omar, but on the macroscopic scale, the character only became better because he served the greater purpose of accurately portraying the richly detailed ecosystem of Baltimore's criminal underworld and the civic systems that both support and combat it.

And in truth, Omar's purpose to the larger story was the reason he needed to die. Much of the work in depicting an organism as multifaceted as a city comes in establishing the tempo of its rhythms and the nature of the cycles it moves through. Omar was a retributive component in the criminal underworld itself that corrected against its own "mistakes.

In the case of The Wire 's final season, the misstep that needed correcting was the ruthless and increasingly powerful influence of the Stanfield Organization overseen by Marlo Stanfield. At the start of Season 5, Omar was happily retired in Puerto Rico, but seeking vengeance on him for his last heist and an initial personal slight was Stanfield.

He's killed a small army of men, but he does not curse. He's straight from the mud of the streets, but he's cunning and intelligent. And he's gay. I'm all about layers and complexities. How many layers can I put on this character? The homosexuality was just another layer. I was like, 'Great, I can put that here. The thing I brought to the table was making Omar sound Baltimorean.

I didn't want to sound Brooklyn. I wanted to talk, walk, dress like a true Baltimore dude. I was so blessed to be part of that movement. Table of Contents. Also read What team does Stephen Curry play for ?
