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.
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.
