Bloodchild - interpretations and observations
From: m.aghazarian, smile, marina, hilary_brashear
Interpretation: Commentary on complications of interdependent relationships. Role of technology outside of a binary and how it brings a personal aspect into these relationships between humans and technology. Metaphor for relationship between humans and technology (in story humans represent technology; the creatures represent us).
- Not slave/master relationship, but interdependency. Gan has affection for T’Gatoi even though pain is involved. More complicated relationship than master/slave.
- Are there male creatures? She mentioned females, sterile females
- Pregnant male story
- People used as surrogates/technology.
- Guns are outlawed, but the family still has some. Using technology in order to defend selves from being used as technology
- Use of creatures’ eggs to keep humans young. (Connection to plastic surgery? A need to get away from interdependence?) Father eats eggs much more readily than mother does.
