The Shawshank Redemption

The Shawshank Redemption examines a series of oppositions: guilt and innocence, brutality and charity, freedom and imprisonment to finally show how Andy is able to save not only himself but Red too. Discuss.

The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont, is a film in which conflicts and oppositions of many kinds play a major role. The film’s main character, Andy Dufresne, was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, and thrust into a harsh maximum security prison, whose shocking brutality and harsh conditions are more than enough to see any man broken a dozen times. However, even in such dire circumstances, he is able to maintain his pride, humanity and hope, in order to survive. He is not only able to keep them going within himself, but he also helps others to do the same, inspiring people like Tommy to do their High School Equivalency exams, and generally do things to improve themselves for when they get 'out'. He probable inspires one person the most, Ellis 'Red' Redding, who is is greatest friend on the 'inside', and they both break free of their physical, and psychological imprisonment, and find true freedom.
