Quote by Terry Pratchett

Granny looked up at the zombie. He was - or, technically, had been - a tall, handsome man. He still was, only now he looked like someone who had walked through a room full of cobwebs.'What's your name, dead man?' she said.

Granny looked up at the zombie. He was - or, technically, ha

Summary

In this quote, Granny encounters a zombie who, despite being technically dead, still retains some of his human features. The description of the zombie as a tall and handsome man indicates that he was once a living person. However, his disheveled appearance, resembling someone covered in cobwebs, highlights the transformation and decay brought on by death. Granny's curious question, "What's your name, dead man?" demonstrates her fearless nature and suggests that she sees beyond the physical state of the zombie, opting to engage with him as an individual rather than just a creature.

Ere to sleepThou liest down, prepare to guard thy life--A man is friendless in the hour of trial. . . .I to the needy gave, the orphan nourished,Esteemed alike the lowly and the great;But he who ate my bread made insurrection,And those my hands raised up, occasion seizedRebellion to create. . . . They went aboutAll uniformed in garments that I gaveAnd deemed me but a shadow. . . . Those who sharedMy perfumes for anointment, rose betimesAnd broke into my harem.
