Zombies: a metaphor for Unthinking Masses?
#14
RE: Zombies: a metaphor for Unthinking Masses?
Zombies are a subconscious exploration of death and dying. People who are dying are often living in constant pain, as zombies are (the best example of this being made plain is in Return of the Living Dead, 1985). We are frightened of death and dying, so we allow others to deal with it - hospitals take care of the dying, funeral homes take care of the dead, and it's all pretty much out of sight and out of mind. Zombies force us to confront death and dying, and give the dead a chance to strike back.
