7) Character Motivations Unrelated to Christmas
Trending
The actions of both the heroes and villains in Die Hard have nothing to do with Christmas. John McClane’s fight to rescue his wife is rooted in personal redemption and survival, not holiday values like generosity or forgiveness. On the other side, Hans Gruber, and his team are motivated by greed and deception, using the Christmas party as a convenient cover for their heist. The holiday setting may explain why people are gathered in the building, but it does not shape anyone’s decisions or behaviors. The characters’ actions are based on their personal goals, not seasonal traditions, making the Christmas angle feel incidental rather than central.
