Warm Bodies: Who's Fighting Who
In Warm Bodies Isaac Marion leads us to believe there is a war going on between the living and the living dead. The war, however, is not between those with a heartbeat and those without but it is between those who want to live and care and be human, and those who do not. When the lines of this battle are drawn, M, R, and Julie find themselves on one side accompanied by many mortals and zombies alike. This side fights to live past just surviving. They all work to recapture their humanity in this post-apocalyptic world. They have not given up hope and are willing to change. On the other side we have the Boneys and John Grigio. This side has lost all hope. They do not strive to remember who they once were; when the plauge swept the globe they gave up and turned into something dark. They are empty inside and whats left of their mind resists change coming to what they believe the world to be. One side has hope where the other has 'tradition'. One side wishes to live while the other only wants to survive. One side wishes to reclaim their humanity, while the other is simply trying to remain alive (or reanimated).
