Response to Mr.Steiling's P&P&Z Question

How do the rules for zombies expressed in P&P&Z embody the rules for zombies generally?
1. They kind of walk around mindlessly with no soul eating people, also helping the story out (the disease or plague has taken over the bodies of all the people and they have turned into zombies or unmentionables.

We see zombies in this novel represented as the lowest of lower classes. They are harnessed to pull carts, burned "adead" in a concentration camp-like cremetory, slaughtered coldly and recreationally. Just what is the metaphor being presented by the figure of the zombie in this novel?
2. it may be a metaphor between nature and man.

Moreover, what can we make of the zombie as it has become a fixture in contemporary popular culture; just why have zombies become so popular?
3. I believe that zombies have become so popular in this day and age because it gives us more adventure and horror in your life something that we wouldn't usually get otherwise.
