Who is Lucille?

It is in his arms that Lucille succumbs to his illness before returning as a zombie, in turn. His death apparently devastated Negan so that he came to nickname such an object as her!
A paternal instinct?
Negan? A paternal instinct? You could not remain insensitive to his smile and his sparkling eyes when he meets little Judith . Negan becomes totally gaga of the child and does not let go of a sole. And even though he was planning to kill Carl at the end of Season 7, he has a certain respect and attachment for this young boy. Even Carl lets himself be carried away by Negan’s charisma, letting him hold his sister in his arms. This is particularly evident when Negan claims to eat with Rick’s two children as a family. A beautiful family picture, do not you think?
A certain respect for women?
It is clear that Negan has some problem with regard to women . His background in comics and his situation in the series speak volumes. What is surprising for him is that he has established a law against rape between his ranks. Remember, when Sasha is on the brink of being raped by one of the Saviors, Negan does not hesitate for a second to kill him on the spot by adding that sexual abuse is not allowed here.
