1. We All Gotta Go Sometime
Yes, a sombre note to end on, but unfortunately true. I don't care who you are. Where you're from. What you did. In the end, nobody can live forever. From an analytical point of view, it could be argued that the sheer essence of The Walking Dead is the commentary it provides on death. Or more so, how we cope with death. It is a celebration of the human spirit, a window into how we can encounter death in the form of lost loved ones, colleagues, neighbours, or even civilisation itself, and still keep on moving forward, fighting for survival. The overall message of The Walking Dead seems to be: no matter how bad things get, no matter how deep you fall with seemingly no way out, there is still always something worth fighting for: life. And your life is
always well worth living.
