Shame Theory

The critical model I have chosen for my film analysis is shame theory. Shame, as I understand it, is one of the most powerful emotions a person can experience. Shame seems to affect all other emotions, and in a case of serious shame and humiliation, there are usually witnesses to the shame event. I understand that there are four parts to the script theory of shame theory. People take part in the script theory when they experience a shame event because they are trying to regain their pride back. The four scripts are: attack other, attack self, withdrawal, and avoidance.
