Margot shoots Francis because in the instant where he loses his fear and charges and the bull, no longer being cowardly (like with the lion), he becomes a man and is happy, she is afraid for herself then because if he is happy and realises he does not need her, he can leave her and she does not want to be alone...
Hemingway biographer, Carlos Baker, claims that Macomber loses his fear as the buffalo charges, and the loss of fear ushers Macomber into manhood, which Margot instantly kills.

In the story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" by Ernest Hemingway, it is suggested that Francis's wife, Margaret, shot him accidentally while aiming at a charging buffalo. Some literary critics interpret this act as a reflection of Margaret's frustration with Francis's newfound courage and independence, while others see it as a tragic accident resulting from the chaotic events of the hunting expedition.
