He tends to take baby steps to complete any task, even one as small as leaving the anemone he lives in.Įmotionally unstable after losing his entire nest and wife, Marlin cannot take a joke. His individual differences, differences in perception of things due to varying psychological makeups, cause him to be influenced stronger by certain stimuli then other fish who are more rational with their thoughts and reactions (Baran and Davis, 2012, p. He is neurotic, pessimistic, and worrisome, always fearing for the worst by assuming that something will go wrong. Marlin has several character flaws that hinder his ability to get over the death of his wife.
After Nemo is born, Marlin’s overprotective parent qualities are seen in his inability to let go of his son and allow him to experience life on his own. Until the birth of Nemo, Marlin cares for and watches over the egg constantly for fear of losing his last offspring. After the death of family, he takes on many female qualities becoming a paranoid parent watching over his only remaining offspring. This quickly changes when a barracuda kills Coral and all but one of the eggs in their nest.Ĭlown fish are anthromorphizing fish meaning that they can change gender throughout their life.
Initially Marlin is playful and worrisome with his wife Coral and excited about their future. The main protagonist in Finding Nemo, Marlin is an adult, male clownfish with a slender shape and traditional clownfish orange and white coloring. Although he suffers socially from being sheltered at home, his experiences throughout his journey build his confidence and the audience’s faith in him. His time in the tank is shown to reinforce his determination in returning to the ocean and his father. Nemo serves as a reminder to the audience to stay optimistic for Marlin and Dory in their search efforts, the main goal of the movie. This instills a newfound respect for Nemo from his father. His time in the tank proves educational, teaching him survival skills and building his courage.Īfter escaping, Nemo shows his new leadership abilities when Dory is captured by a fishermen’s net and he gets all the fish in the net to work together by swimming down. He looks to Gill, another tank resident, for advice and support in his escape. Throughout the movie, Nemo’s personality grows with his determination to return home. A second attempt to fit in with his peers, Nemo accepts the challenge by the Tank Gang to swim through the “Ring of Fire” in the aquarium coming from the decorative volcano to be initiated into the group. We later learn that Nemo was placed in a fish tank inside the Dentist’s office who captured him, where the Tank Gang lives. Encouraged by disinhibitory effects, “seeing a model rewarded for a prohibited for threatening behavior,” which are his friends cheering him, Nemo wants to be accepted and participates in the challenge to see who can swim the farthest from the drop off to “touch the boat,” which is what causes Nemo to get captured by a diver (Baran and Davis, 2012, p. His sheltered life has prevented him from learning about the eco-system that he lives in and learning how to interact socially with peers. Nemo becomes rebellious when his father embarrasses him in front of his new class. Sheltered by his overprotective father, Nemo is eager to experience life outside of the anemone that they live in. Throughout the movie, the lucky fin is focused on as a defining feature in Nemo’s personality and part of his success in returning to the ocean. This serves as a message to children that everyone is different in one way or another.
Upon meeting kids on his first day of school Nemo learns about other physical differences his fish peers have. He also has a speech impairment first seen when he says, “ I live in an-enenenomy, an-nennemoney,” which is an effect of his father holding him back from beginning school. His fin is overactive and moves faster then the others, attracting attention to it. Nemo’s lucky fin is a physical deformity that makes him self-conscious.

His egg got a small crack from the attack giving Nemo one smaller fin, which he refers to as his “lucky fin.” Nemo was the only egg to survive a barracuda attack on his mother’s nest. A small clownfish, Nemo is orange with three white stripes across its body and black outlines.
