An Affective Criticism of "The Sandman (The Doll's House Arc / Episode 7)" from Comics to
This essay aims to apply the affective theory of criticism to Neil Gaiman's fantasy drama series
"The Sandman," which has been adapted from comic books for Netflix. It specifically focuses on
evaluating the seventh episode's plot and situations as well as the provided comic excerpts related to
The Doll's House Arc.

The overwhelming majority of scenes, especially those that focus on Rose Walker's experiences,
were heartfelt and, to some viewers, fairly recognizable. The initial scene where Rose and Jed say
goodbye may be viewed as tragic because it shows the separation from a loved one or a close family
member. Which I think it’s related to my experience back when I was six years old, my older sister, Carla,
departed for Dubai, and as I grew older, I grew more and more distant from her. I don't remember her
name when I was nine years old; all I could remember was that there was an older girl who always
adored me and watched out for me. When compared to the comic book version, the emotions were
more pronounced in the Netflix adaptation, as evidenced by the anxious expressions and frightened
gestures displayed throughout the episode. The comic book version of Rose Walker is not the same as
the personification in the movie. Apart from ethnicity or skin tone, the acting fell flat, as though a
particular spark was needed to engage the audience.

A further noteworthy scene occurred when Rose met Unity Kincaid, who she later learned was
her long-lost grandmother. To continue the story, I was ten years old when my elder sister returned to
the Philippines after a year abroad, and as she hugged me, all I could think about was the girl I had been
wondering about and missing. This event caused perplexity for the main character, and I can connect. I
am significantly affected by this scene and the memory of my older sister, especially since it has been
four years and I was so little at the time. Similarly, it gave me the idea of remembering her and learning
to appreciate her and looking forward to creating memories with my elder sister. She logical sequence
as she learnt about her family history. Rose was relieved when Unity volunteered to assist in finding her
brother. The comfort and certainty expressed in this scene are for both the main character and the
viewer. We should cherish every moment we have with our mothers because they will always want
what's best for us and understand that every lesson, they will impart will be a reflection of our daily
responsibility as individuals. It would be better if Netflix adapted the scene where Miranda Walker,
Rose's mother, went to see Unity for a mother-daughter reunion, just like in the comics.

The Doll's House Arc incorporates a variety of new characters and is characterized by a "thrill
ride journey" of sentiments and occurrences. The Netflix adaptation of the comics has undergone major
change, and the result is at least marginally entertaining in terms of characters, elements, and plot.
Netflix routinely ruins the central plot of original works by changing how they are adapted. In
summation, the television adaptation of this series would be better if the acting was good, the plot was
compelling, and the characters matched the original descriptions.
