Character Analysis of Andrew Lincoln in the Walking Dead Frank Darabont was the great creator of the television series, the Walking Dead. Frank did an amazing job creating this television show and creating some amazing and complex characters. The most interesting character in the show is Rick Grimes who is played by Andrew Lincoln. Rick endures many obstacles throughout the show and he has morals and standards. During the series Rick shows us that he really is an intelligent, controlling, caring, dark and assertive character. To start off Rick shows us his brain power throughout the show. Throughout the show Rick shows us how smart he is. For example in the episode “Guts“, which was the second episode of season one. In the episode many characters including Rick are in a building and are completely surround by zombies. Only way to leave is going out of the building and pass the hoard of zombies to get to the truck and leave the city. So Rick decides to kill a few zombies and wipe its guts all over him and another smart character name Glenn. After they get all the guts and blood over them, Rick and Glenn walked pass the zombies to the truck and find a way to rescue everyone from being killed and turning into zombies. That shows how Rick had to think outside the box and use his intelligence to save everyone. Throughout the show Rick has to find a place to live and keep his group safe. At the end of season two, Rick finds a prison. Using his intelligence he thinks on how to keep the prison safe and secure for his group. Rick thinks about how to keep the prison guarded. He has members of the group with guns watching over the prison at a certain time. Without Rick using his brainpower the prison would have been over ran by zombies or even other humans that are not in his group. Without Rick the group would have died. Rick is also a controlling character. He isn’t controlling in a bad

    In the first two episodes, Gimple and his writers have managed to make more backstory from a number of characters, even if it’s done with minimal screen time. What has made The Walking Dead so compelling as a series is that it transcends the genre. It’s not really a show about zombies so much as it’s a show about the living, Being able to breath, to allow characters to do more than just creatively eviscerate the skulls of zombies, is what makes it unique.…

    From a sociological perspectives as to why Randy gets in trouble so often this could be related to his race, his lack of real family and growing up in the system, his lack of education, and his lack of money. In the Wire you see the teachers and principal use this against him by threatening to call his foster mom unless he gives them the information they want, such as, who has been graffitiing school property. His lack of money is what reluctantly drives him to do things he might not want to, such as, delivering a message to Lex which led Lex into a trap though Randy did not know that it was a trap till after the deed was done and he was given more money for his part. This is an example of sanction, a reward for following the norms, though alternatively a…

    Grey’s Anatomy, a medical drama that has been on air for the past 11 years, is my all-time favorite show. Not only is the plot of the series extremely riveting and tear-jerking, but the characters are all able to relate to an aspect of your life even through your most difficult hardships, especially the protagonist, Meredith Grey. Meredith Grey, is known for her well-roundedness not due to her ability as a surgeon (as she is the head of General Surgery), but because of her willingness to aid others when they’re in times of trouble. This is especially true when it comes to her best friends; Christina Yang, Isabella Stevens, Alex Karev, and George O’Malley; who struggle through deaths, countless failed relationships, and illnesses throughout…

    When Carol and the group were in the prison, they came across some prisoners that had survived. Rick decided to keep them in the group, but one prisoner named Andrew left a gate open and zombies began to come into the prison. T-Dog and Carol were outside moving vehicles when they began to be attacked. In the halls of the prison, Carol and T-Dog were cornered with no way out, so T-Dog sacrificed himself while Carol ran away in order to survive. There are many times when Carol avoided being confronted with a threat, which is avoidance. Every time a person died but their brain was still intact, she would stick a knife in their brain. This prevents the dead from coming back as a zombie, which are threats to everyone living. Specifically, Carol killed Karen and David, two sick members of the prison group that threatened to infect everyone with a sickness. This sickness could’ve killed everyone in the prison, and Carol tried to prevent it by killing the source.…
