2 kind of dead friends

i have two kinds of dead friends: the living dead and the dead dead.

persephone was alive in the land of the dead, she was living dead. demeter understood that persephone had lost her connection to life: incapable of feeling or desire.

once persephone had experienced helplessness during her abduction - it was her father who arranged to have her stolen and given to his brother: persephone would never know whether she was a pawn in her father’s game to hurt her mother or a pawn in her father’s game to appease his brother - her situation was clear: she was an object, not a person. any possibility of agentic action was nullified by her appreciation of herself as a thing, as an it. her will was broken.
