Perseverance
Let's be honest. What are the chances that, in Andy's shoes, you would have had the patience and fortitude to do everything he was prepared to do in order to earn his freedom? Heck, you gave up on Candy Crush after only three levels.
Perseverance is a huge theme through the film, and not just on Andy's part. Red undergoes his own struggle as he is rejected time and again from being labeled as "rehabilitated," and it's only after decades of…let's call it "character-building"…that he finally strings together the right words and impresses the panel with his…let's call it "inner growth."
If Andy had gone another ten years or so without reaching the end of his tunnel, he eventually would have given up and resigned himself to his fate.
No one showed greater perseverance than Tommy, who hung in there despite all his insecurities and passed his high school equivalency exam. (Sob!)
