Classmate post-
I chose David Rose from Schitt’s Creek for my fictional character. His family had a massive fortune, and he grew up in New York without a care in the world because of this. He is stubborn, moody, insecure, quite snarky, and self-absorbed. Always being involved in the next big thing or jetting off to another country with his filthy rich friends. After his father hired a “questionable” business manager that ended up committing fraud, his family lost their fortune and had no choice but to move to Schitt’s Creek–a town that David’s father had initially purchased as joke for him. The town is essentially torture for David, who is so used to living a luxurious and overly lavish lifestyle because it is the exact opposite. It is run down, there is one restaurant, no one there has “taste”, and his family is confined to two motel rooms instead of a mansion. David feels like a fish out of water here.
For my analysis I would like to focus on season one and two of Schitt’s Creek where I believe
David Rose to be in
Level One of Carol Gilligan’s theory. Gilligan’s theory focuses on different levels of caring, and level one observes that a person “cares only for the self, at the expense of others if necessary” (Manias et al, 23). This is accurate to David in the earlier seasons of the show, as he doesn’t try to meet people, nor does he care about the kindness the town folk have showed him and his family. He is only concerned about getting out of Schitt’s Creek as soon as possible and what his “friends” are currently doing. He is disgusted by every place he enters and person he meets, and therefore isolates to complain and pity himself and his family’s situation. He is also very rude to the people of the town at first and treats them poorly purely because he is so concerned about himself and his issues. Always putting himself and his needs first because that is what he’s used to.
