O herói e o vilão em The Walking Dead: um estudo sobre a adaptação dos personagens dos quadrinhos para o audiovisual

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the figures of the hero and the villain in the series The Walking Dead, focusing on the characters Rick Grimes and Negan, and to examine how these figures are portrayed in the comics and the audiovisual series. To achieve this, the study employs Gil's (2002) bibliographic research methodology for the development and elaboration of the theoretical framework, Bardin's (1977) content analysis for the collection and exploration of materials, and Fachin's (2005) comparative method. The results and conclusion clarify the differences and similarities in the construction of these figures and highlight how these representations influence the audience's perception of the characters.
