Why David Harbour thinks Jim Hopper’s character “Needed To Die”
Chief Jim Hopper (played by David Harbour) is one of the main characters on Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ ever since the show aired. The finale season saw the death of Jim Hopper during a climactic scene at the Starcourt Mall. Meanwhile, fans started speculating that Harbour’s character may return in some form in the upcoming season of ‘Stranger Things’. Despite all this, actor David Harbour has his own theory on Jim Hopper’s death.
The 45-year-old actor revealed that he is glad Jim Hopper died in the finale episode of ‘Stranger Things’. Because he thinks that his character needed to make a sacrifice. David explained, “When I read that first scene with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Hopper and he resists helping her find her child and even makes a bit of a homophobic joke about him, you see this guy has really sort of died on the inside as a result of the death of his daughter. The fact that he lives with a certain amount of internalized rage and had been slowly killing himself with pills and alcohol … he needed to make a sacrifice”.
Further, he said, “One way it could be viewed is he has to die to make it up to (his daughter) Sara and see her in the afterlife. The other view is that because of this newfound relationship with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), he needs to shed his skin, make a sacrifice that allows his character to re-emerge. He was finally able to really take a bullet for a child, which he had never been able to do because Sara died of cancer. I think there’s a perfection to it”.
Well, now it is clear that Hopper is alive and we all are going to see him in season 4. But do you agree with David Harbour’s theory? Let us know the answers in the comments section below.
