| Discussion Questions1. How does
the story alter the icon of the alien (especially in its guise as alien
invader)?
2. What techniques do the aliens use to
destabilize human society? Are there any that we aren't already using on
ourselves?
3. Do any human males appear in the story?
4. What metaphoric role might the aliens
play? Are they humanity? Men? The earth getting back at us?
5. What do the narrator and other human
allies of the aliens have in common? Why don't they feel more loyal to
the existing system? |
