Part 7/9:
As the daughters prepare for the dance, the conflict between parental expectations and individual desires emerges.

Notably, Lizzy’s contempt for being ‘paraded’ like livestock reinforces the comic absurdity of their situation. The humor rooted in these quips reveals a deeper absurdity of societal norms amidst a zombie apocalypse.
