Spectre- EXTRA CREDIT!!!


The town of Spectre represents Edwards reluctance to settle down and live within his comfort zone.
It’s a fact. An individual is at ease in their own comfort zone and feel the opposite when they step out of their comfort zone. Edward makes a decision to leave Spectre because he realizes that in order to fully experience life; he must live out of his comfort zone and take risks. In Spectre, life’s events are the same day to day. Edward realizes that’s not how he would like to live his life. Edward see’s Spectre as part of himself-his comfort zone. He recognizes the fact that there are goals that he wants to accomplish but cannot do them inside of his comfort zone therefore it would be impossible to accomplish them in Spectre. He comes to the conclusion that he is not ready to settle down and live a boring life so instead he leaves in order to find adventure.
In Spectre, life is perfect, life is normal, life is the same every single day. The people who live there have a normal routine that never changes. The people of Spectre live 100% in their own comfort zones and when Edward sees this, he himself realizes that he wouldn’t want to live like this. Edward thinks what the point of living life is if you don’t live it to the fullest. As easy as it would’ve been for Edward to stay in his comfort zone, to stay in Spectre, he chose the hard route. He chose to leave Spectre because he wasn’t ready to settle down and live a less exciting life. If he hadn’t stepped out of his comfort zone/left Spectre, he would never had met his wife or had his son Will. “I promise. Someday. When I’m really supposed to” Edward said this as he was leaving Spectre. By this, he meant he still has things that he wants to do and is not ready to fully live within his comfort zone.
