    The survival system in Shawshank is similar to today’s social system. People who “painfully changed their former faults” are thrown into the darkness again and again. Those in power do dirty deeds but preach “the way of salvation” in front of the public. The character has no edges and corners, and the thoughts lose sparks. People who are "systematized" can only survive when they are accustomed to submissively.

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • Red: [narrating] I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.

  • Warden Samuel Norton: Do you enjoy working in the laundry?

    Andy Dufresne: No sir, not especially.
