This was the first time I met Red, Andy, and Warden Norton, so I had no basis in which to compare the book. While I was aware of the ending from popular culture, I managed to read most of the book blind.
It might come as a surprise, but I never actually watched the movie (in full) of The Shawshank Redemption. Will Shawshank break Andy? Or will he get out? Because of this, Red isn’t sure what to think of Andy at first his odd interests and calm demeanor seem unwavering. But Andy holds his own: he says he is innocent, even as he is shipped off to Shawshank Prison and becomes acquainted with long-time inmate Red, he maintains his innocence. All the details add up: he was angry with his wife for cheating, he drove to the house that night, and he conveniently got rid of the gun. The jury, the verdict is a no brainer: Andy shows little emotion, is blunt, and is calculating. Andy Dufresne has been accused of murdering his wife and her lover in a gruesome murder involving over eight bullets.
