| | Yorick, Don't Be A Hero: Productive Motion in Y: the Last Man (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Yorick takes the cop's gun but is unable to kill himself, and though he claims it is because he decided to live for Beth and his family, 711 claims he was simply too much of a coward, and knew that if he sought out danger, someone would end up killing him. |
 | | Yorick's own experience is informed by survivor guilt and the burden of being seen as the world's savior, but his own response and recovery are characterized in private and inaccessible terms: rather than cope, and actively pursue his quest to help the world survive, he rejects the responsibility that his survival places upon him. |
 | | Yorick and his companions are on a quest to bring back males of all species, to heal the world by returning it to a time before the plague, but Yorick's engagement with his pain has not granted him a source of agency. |
