Dead Bodies

         The main body that I don't like is a dead one. I would say its because it brings the fear of death into your mind. In scary movies seeing a dead body always leads to the protagonist shrieking in fear as they know that the danger is real. That is why dead bodies are somewhat frightening to me as I have seen family members and friends pass and seeing them in a casket is always an un-easing thing for me. I think this could best be related to the walking dead when people see their family members that are zombies they want to think they are alive and okay but they aren't. When I go to funerals especially when you kneel beside the casket I always expect the person to jump up at me and say boo. Its an uneasy feeling where you are constantly expecting something to happen but it doesn't. At the same time it is upsetting to think about it often as you can picture your face on the person this body is frightening due to the fact that it is not just scary or creepy in itself but it is symbolic of death and the loss we will all feel. The most frightening aspect is that you cant kill or destroy this symbol like you could a spider or an animal in your room. It stands for the greater fears of losing loved ones and in turn dying yourself it is the most frightening body to me because it stands for the inevitable one thing we have no control over and that is death. Therefore I think the most frightening body would be a dead one due to its foreshadowing that we are all doomed to die and become nothing and this to me creates an uneasy and upsetting feeling as we all know we are going to die but most of us ignore it and get on with our lives yet this is a bone chilling reminder that no matter how successful we are we will all meet the same end.
