Hope is set against its opposite
despair. Most of the inmates are
afraid of hope because they think it
will destroy them. In contrast Andy
didn’t give up hope. He believes
hope gives people a reason to
live, a sense of freedom.
He not only maintains hope himself
but tries to give others the hope
that life can and will get
better, even in prison.

can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you
free”…

thing. Maybe the best of things.
It never dies. I'm hoping this
letter finds you well”.
• By journeying to Mexico, Red
chooses hope over despair. He
hopes to be reunited with Andy
and to have a future.
29. The movie has shown
what the will to live
and the hope
that goes with
that will can do.
