currently I am reading the 2nd volume to the walking dead books by Robert Kirkman.These books are my favorite comic books by far, not only because I watch the tv show and love zombies but because it animates a world with these horrible creatures by showing everyones separate ways of dealing with them with it in their own way, whether it be through doubt like Hershel , power like shane, or through relying on others and creating a team like Rick does. Or even simpler do you kill them or no?
Currently in the comic the starting crew has come across a farm and are staying there due to a member getting shot.
In this place immediately you are introduced to Hershel, the head of the farm, Hershel is showed as a older religious wise and friendly man. he immediately opens his arms to the group. The author wanted him to look completely normal. In my opinion he is more normal then any of the Characters.
However after about a day you discover a weird side of him, in the mist of all these zombies he has been saving his sick loved ones in a locked barn. Hershel explains its because they are "only sick" and no one knows what's really going on. It really makes you think, in the whole story you see people killing zombies so naturally and you never think that there is any other choice. its as if the human instinct is too kill things that stand in the way but Hershel goes against this. Truthfuly i would probably do the same to bring my self to kill my best friend would be really hard even if they were a zombie and if there was a small chance of them living if i kept them i would most defenatly keep them.
