He can be analyzed in so many ways‚ touching on many of the different fields of psychology. The most interesting thing about Will is the cognitive dissonance he goes through throughout the film.

Behind the camouflage hunting blind was an anxious‚ younger me with my dad‚ looking through the binoculars at the buck in front of me. This moment in my life was one of many moments where I grew up.
