Pursuing this logic further- people like Robb’s fiancé or Collins’ new husband could categorically be thought of as lower forms of life.
Not an unreasonable thought, all things considered.
We all know what I can do, so I won’t go over that again here.
But it’s like… Lily marrying that guy is like her leaving a human male and marrying a slug, or some type of garden snake. It’s like… he’s a lesser organism, categorically lower. He’s at least one rung lower on the food chain, compared to where I sit.
It’s an interesting thought.
Especially for me.
