While many of his friends are grappling with their struggles, either by becoming tougher, more rebellious, or facing off against otherworldly threats, Will’s journey goes much deeper than merely battling monsters. Will is not just caught in the grasp of the Upside Down; he is a symbol of inner strength, silent suffering, and raw vulnerability. From the moment he was abducted into the Upside Down, his emotional journey shifts into a more melancholic, self-reflective space. Yet, it is his unwavering strength to endure unimaginable horrors and not lose sight of himself that makes him stand out amid all the supernatural turmoil.
