Witnessing Shame in Thor

In the film Thor, there is a very clear and great shame event that Thor experiences. This shame event is when Thor decides to attack another planet, and he gets banished by the King, who is also his father. This is a major shame event because there are witnesses to this event, and this causes other emotions in Thor, such as anger and sadness. As I can remember, I believe Thor uses the avoidance script of the script theory while experiencing shame. He avoids his admission of shame, since he doesn’t have to tell the people of Earth where he’s from until towards the end of the film. I will have to watch the film and do a further analysis to fully understand how he copes with shame.
