One of the biggest parts of my education these past two years was reading the novel Of Mice and Men. Everyone’s heard of it, John Steinbeck’s 1930s novel of two men who get jobs at a ranch during the great depression. Since finishing the film, the ending has been stuck in my head. I think about it often, especially when revising, and ponder the emotional turmoil that must come with a necessary evil. Those thoughts returned this week as The Walking Dead presented one of its gut wrenching and harrowing episodes to date.
A painful episode, but a brilliant one. With only two episodes left, how many more shocks can they fit in?
