Ans 1. Get busy living, or get busy dying, This powerful line spoken by Andy Dufresne resonates deeply because it encapsulates the entire philosophy of the film. It presents a fundamental choice we all face in life – whether to surrender to our circumstances or to actively pursue hope and freedom despite obstacles. The simplicity of the statement belies its profound meaning about human resilience and the power of choice even in the most restrictive environments. This dialogue serves as a turning point in the narrative, representing Andy’s unwavering determination to escape and live life on his terms.

Ans 2 – What makes this film exceptional is its perfect blend of elements – from the outstanding performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman to the meticulous plot development that rewards viewers with one of cinema’s most satisfying conclusions. The prison setting serves as a powerful metaphor for life’s constraints, while Andy’s methodical escape plan represents the human capacity to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

1.The power of hope – Andy demonstrates that hope can sustain us through the most challenging circumstances and ultimately lead to freedom.
2.Patience and perseverance – Andy’s escape plan took nearly two decades to execute, showing that meaningful goals often require extraordinary patience.
3.Institutional corruption – The film exposes how power systems can become corrupt and how individuals within them can either perpetuate or resist that corruption.

Ans 4. Ethics and Justice – The corrupt prison system portrayed raises questions about institutional ethics, abuse of power, and what true justice means in an imperfect system.
