where did andy go at the end of shawshank redemption?
zihuatanejo
zihuatanejo has been interpreted as an analogue for heaven or paradise. in the film, andy describes it as a place with no memory, offering absolution from his sins by forgetting about them or allowing them to be washed away by the pacific ocean, whose name means "peace". the possibility of escaping to zihuatanejo is only raised after andy admits that he feels responsible for his wife's death. similarly, red's freedom is only earned once he accepts he cannot save himself or atone for his sins. freeman has described red's story as one of salvation as he is not innocent of his crimes, unlike andy who finds redemption. while some christian viewers interpret zihuatanejo as heaven, it can also be interpreted as a nietzschean form of guiltlessness achieved outside traditional notions of good and evil, where the amnesia offered is the destruction rather than forgiveness of sin, meaning andy's aim is secular and atheistic. just as andy can be interpreted as a christ-like figure, he can be seen as a zarathustra-like prophet offering escape through education and the experience of freedom. film critic roger ebert argued that "the shawshank redemption" is an allegory for maintaining one's feeling of self-worth when placed in a hopeless position. andy's integrity is an important theme in the story line, especially in prison, where integrity is lacking.
