Hi guys and girls, thanks to your contributions in my previous thread I have a better understanding of the EXTERNAL WANT vs INTERNAL NEED concept. However, are there any good examples of this seen on contemporary television?
I tried to dissect the goals of some of my favourite TV heroes but I'm finding it more difficult than expected.
For example, I analysed Friday Night Lights as follows: Coach Taylor WANTS to prioritise his home life around his career as the coach of the Dillon Panthers. But he NEEDS to understand that he'll never be able to fulfil his role as husband and father if he continues to Coach in Dillon.
I also wrote this for Banshee: Lucas Hood WANTS to put his old life behind him and start a new life under a new identity. But he NEEDS to realise that in order to truly move on, he has to deal with the ghosts of his past.
I don't know if these are correct or not, but it was just what I came up with. Do any of you have more examples? Thank you.
