The logic of John Wick's world is one that we recognize, in that “they” — the wealthy, all-powerful yet unknown people who rule our lives — are always in the act of taking away from us what little we have left.

Positive Role Models. Despite being an assassin, John Wick is principled: He only hurts those who hurt others. Still, his "field" isn't exactly one that inspires admiration, at least from outsiders.
After two rounds of the duel end in Caine and Wick injured but alive, John seems to make the decision to sacrifice his life in order to kill the Marquis. After all, killing Caine would free John from the High Table, but murdering the Marquis immediately after that would get Wick in trouble all over again.
If the Wick films work best as metaphors for wanton violence that we ignore, that's perhaps for a very good reason. In some ways, John Wick himself works better as a metaphor than as a man. He's all purity of motive and endless forward momentum.
