Dreaming
• Davidson is the model for the MAN man, he is an alpha, he expects to conquer everything in his path, and he sees others as tools to help him accomplish this
o He defines man as beings who fuck and kill – no mentions of love from Davidson
oWomen of his own species don’t even make the cut for his definition of person, as he treats women more like cattle than other men
• Lyubov and Athsheans are the foils to Davidson, they have more in common with each other, as different species, than with Davidson
o Athsheans are able to recognize humans as people while humans treat Athsheans as cattle
o They define people as beings who respect life, love is portrayed repeatedly as a motivator for the Athsheans, and dreaming is the defining characteristic of a person
