Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter discusses how Djarin’s strict adherence to the Mandalorian creed gradually weakens due to his evolving relationship with Grogu. His sense of morality seemingly shifts from a strong loyalty to the Mandalorian community to loyalty, caring for, and bonding with Grogu. This dynamic is interpreted mainly from a moral psychology approach, which is used to examine which moral values are included in the Mandalorian creed and how Djarin’s moral disposition changes throughout the series. Additionally, a positive psychology perspective addresses how Djarin’s character development throughout the series can be defined as eudaimonic (i.e., focusing on worthwhile aspects of life3,4), improving his well-being mainly due to his growing connection with Grogu as well as his shifting identification as a Mandalorian. This chapter addresses whether and how Djarin’s journey influences his moral values, decision-making, and his adherence of the Mandalorian moral code. |
