Who is Hershel Greene in The Walking Dead?
The veterinarian who kept the barn · Farm & Prison
Hershel Greene (The veterinarian who kept the barn) is a character in The Walking Dead, part of Farm & Prison. Hershel Greene runs the last sane acres in Georgia: a veterinarian, a recovered drinker, a man of stubborn faith who treats Carl's gunshot wound and shelters the group — under rules. The barn holds his terrible hope: the dead inside are, to Hershel, sick neighbours awaiting a cure, family among them. The collision between his mercy and the group's experience is season two's heart, and what Hershel becomes afterwards — the prison's white-bearded conscience — is the series' best argument that gentleness can be a spine.
