Themes
It seems that The Shawshank Redemption is just a film about prison break. But the main purpose of this film is telling people that “hope” is the best thing in human life, whatever how bad is your life. The Shawshank Redemption is an allegory for maintaining one's feeling of self worth when placed in a hopeless position. The integrity of Andy Dufresne is an important theme in the story line, especially in prison, where integrity is lacking.
