Zombies and Mob Mentality

We have had many discussions about what these zombie stories are saying about the human race as a whole. The idea that resonated most with me was analyzing the affect of "mob mentality" or absence of it, in Warm Bodies. When all the zombies are together and acting as a mob in other stories we have looked at, it becomes impossible for the humans to really understand them for what they are. Instead, it is easiest to just classify every zombie as something negative and scary without looking beneath the surface filled with stereotypes. However, when R ventures away from his pack of zombies in this text, the humans are able to see something more underneath the zombie surface. This says a lot about how humans look at unfamiliar or frightening groups of people. I have seen it in my own culture where a lot of East Indians are classified as terrorists when in reality the people using these names do not actually know anything about our religion or our culture.
