Is Red Imaginary?
I have seen some claims that Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding (played by Morgan Freeman) from The Shawshank Redemption was actually just a figment of Andy's imagination. Is there any evidence to this claim in the movie? Or is there any more evidence in the source novella? I can't find any reputable citations to that effect after looking deeper.
Best Answer
No, Red was very real (within the context of the story), as acknowledged by the warden and both prison guards in this scene where they take him down to Andy's cell to question him over the disappearance.
