A short analysis, not complete, but still
I'm a history fucker and I did a little research yesterday, the saint on the funeral card is Saint Ivo of Brittany (1253-1303), and he is the patron saint of lawyers, judges, orphans and poor. His feast day is May 19th, the day of his death and canonization.
Matt in this scene is not only praying to the saint, but he is praying both, the saint and Foggy, because Matt is asking for their help to do the right thing, the right decision, to not lose his way in a moment of deep pain for him.
Matt is filled with anger, so much anger, that in the fourth episode he turns to Punisher for permission and absolution, because he wanted to be justified in embracing his anger.
Matt didn't need to look for Frank for the bullet, he already knew it wasn't him.
Matt is on a path that is taking him down, to embrace his anger, he will probably get revenge on Bullseye. He might even kill him.
The proof is the fact that when he calls the police for help he then hangs up saying "Fuck it".
Because just like Angela and many other people who are victims of injustice Matt is TIRED of laws that are no longer in step with society and of a state that wants us poor and ignorant.
Matt is literally taking a road similar to that of Orpheus or Dante, but there is no return from Hell, there is no love at the end of the road, there is no return for Foggy to the world of the living, there are no stars waiting for him if in the end Matt chooses to kill Bullseye.
Because justice does not mean revenge and it should never mean that.
Matt is tormented by guilt, but anger is destroying him, because the more the series goes on, the more it is obvious that he will lose control...
Just look at how he attacked the police in the second episode, with the Irish mobster and then with Muse.
Muse did not die hanging only because Matt had the goal of saving Angela, but when the fight between him and Bullseye comes, there will be nothing to hold him back.
And I would like to conclude with "the things we do for love" and it is not necessarily romantic or sexual love, think about the things you have done for friendship, for your family, for the people you care about.
Matt feels lost and the things he will do for love and compassion might not please us, and that is why he prays, he prays not to lose his humanity.
And it is very interesting because there is also a parallel with Fisk, who is holding Adam prisoner.
There is literally a parallel between Fisk/Adam and Matt/Muse, (and also with Fisk/Vanessa and Matt/Foggy) with Adam locked in a basement, an underground environment, like the subway tunnels where Muse took his victims.
Furthermore, Fisk is already something inhuman, he is a mobster, he is a piece of shit and he will do out of jealousy what all violent men do, torture his victim, in this case Adam.
Fisk, as a parallel and at the same time as a mirror of Matt, has already lost his humanity, he has a mask of a human, a good man.
And when Vanessa discovers the truth, because she probably will, will she still think that Fisk is not dangerous for her life? I doubt it.
Daredevil right now, among its subplots, doesn't just talk to us about fighting crime, about fighting men, but it talks about Matt and his heart full of love, and that love is killing him, because he lost Foggy, who was his best friend, his only constant, part of his life.
And yes, interpret it however you want, but it's still about love.
And to quote Frank: It's all about him.
P.S.: yes I ship mattfoggy, OBVIOUSLY, I shouldn't even have to justify myself, but hey, I can love cocks and write great reviews at the same time.
