5 stages of grief in the bucket list. The character of Edward Cole goes through the 5 stages of grief as shown in the movie by the way he talks to carter, they acknowledge the 5 stages of grief and know what stage they are in which is denial they show this by not fully accepting the ramifications of what’s happening and he doesn’t accept the fact that he is dying by the way he treats the nurse when he is first admitted to the hospital, he swears at her frequently and doesn’t accept the treatment being given. The character Edward Cole undergoes this stage of grief at the same time of denial he’s denying that he’s dying and not understanding the severity of everything going on his life. The anger is shown by the way he swears at the nurse when rejecting the treatment, this shows that he’s using the anger to distract himself from the subject at hand which is his impending death from the cancer which is antagonising it. The anger is also shown throughout the movie as Edwards personal servant Thomas gets verbally abused throughout the film and this a perfect example of how people with a certain trouble in their lives try to distance themselves from that pain by taking it out anger on someone.
