In Isaac Marion's novel Warm Bodies, I have recognized the similarities between the society we live in, and the society in which the Zombies in the novel, live in. For instance, the zombie R that is portrayed in Marion's novel, is an anxiety teenager. He strives to be understood, and to feel important in the beginning of the book. But, because he has no idea of what his future entails, he seems more apathetic towards living. It's similar to what a lot of teens feel when they go through puberty, and it kinda reflects this influx of love-based supernatural movies; though this is a novel.
In addition, the human side within the book don't necessarily feel like being in war-mode is living. They strive to feel pleasure (not sexually), but having fun and to be able to be free. The sense of being suppressed within yourself, anxiety building up and a lot of wanting, can definitely be seen on R and Julie's side of the spectrum. It's just a comment on the relation's within the novel that make me think, they're not all that different. And R is definitely something unique to his situation because he's more humanistic.
