Do you think that those two characters may be theirs complete opposite of an One Man's evolution after being faced by a prespect of dying by a teminal illness ? Do you know so more accurate examples of what i'm trying to say than them ?
I'm tlking about Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 (more specifically only his good karma version) and Walter White from Breakin Bad
Arthur was already a hardened and ruthless criminal since a very young age having committed lots of atrocities along the way. However after being told of having a severe case of a tuberculosis and thus not much time left he started doing as hard as he could to make up for his past mistakes and help those he wronged the most as well as meeting his end with both an acceptance and inner peace. at least this is how his good karma counterpart ends up like.
Meanwhile Walter White unlike Arthur was a decent man already from the start, dedicated father and a very passionative school teacher, but after being diagnosed with a inoperable case of lung cancer his fate went from a completly opposite direction, having committed one vile crime after another some of which would make even prime Arthur looks tame in a comparision. Destroying lives of many in a process not showing that much of remorse at the end more of a pride of all of his "achievements".
I think it's a good case of how one should and should not act dealing with that kind of personal tragedy. But what you think ? Do you know any other examples of that across all media ? I've found this topic to be pretty fascinating frankly.
