So I decided to make an overall analysis going through a few dominant ideologies it might be implicit into the show. Some writers would even accuse the show producers of focusing only on stereotypical concepts. In fact, when trying to find posts and articles to support my idea, I noticed that people usually had the opposite perception. In spite of what I have just explained, my opinion is not unanimous as I thought it would be. Actually, most of them have either leadership functions or threatening weapon skills, all that without appealing to unnecessary sexual attractiveness. In my point of view, despite a few stereotypes being used, in general the series producers managed to avoid assigning just conventional submissive fragile roles for the female characters. It is true that Dwight "stole" them from Daryl, but in the comics they initially belonged to him, he didn't have to steal them.Īnd in the end, Dwight was the one to help Daryl escape the Sanctuary (it is yet to be mentioned on the show, but it's pretty obvious) and in return, Dwight will probably ask help from Daryl (and his family) to battle Negan.In this post I intend to analyse how the TV show “The Walking Dead” question the dominant ideology of patriarchy by examining its signs semiotically. Dwight's wife, Sherry, scarified herself to save him and Dwight will eventually do anything he can, betraying Negan, to save her too.īoth are seen riding a motorcycle, handling a crossbow and wearing the winged vest. Daryl put his life in danger more than once to save his family and vice versa. Technically, we met him before we met Paula and Michelle, but we started to see the resemblance between him and Daryl later on.ĭaryl and Dwight have shared a lot of screentime together so far and I expect them to share even more in the future.īoth of them would do anything for their family, the difference being Dwight only has one person he cares about, as Daryl has a lot of people he cares about. Norman Reedus & Austin Amelio as Daryl & Dwight ~ East, 6x15 Though Carol still cares, and Paula stopped caring a long time ago. Paula had a boring office job and Carol was a housewife.īoth are in the double digits for killing people, the difference being that Carol still counts and Paula stopped after 10.Ĭarol realized in that episode that she was scared of ending up like Paula. The biggest difference being that Paula responds to Donnie's abuse by striking him too.īoth of them had sorta boring lives before the apocalypse and were reborn once the world ended. Carol with Ed, obviously, and Paula with Donnie, as seen when he strikes her in front of everyone (paralleling the scene when Ed strikes Carol in front of everyone). Both also lost their husbands to the apocalypse.īoth once were in abusive relationship. Carol lost one biological daughter and three surrogate daughters (the Samuels and Beth, with whom I always felt like she had a mother/daughter-ish relationship to). They were showed talking to each other throughout the episode and we learned about Paula's past, which had some similarities to Carol's.īoth of them lost children because of the apocalypse. Paula was paired with Carol in the episode The Same Boat (6x13). Melissa McBride & Alicia Witt as Carol & Paula ~ The Same Boat, 6x13
