Notes:
*Freud's theory of melancholia was one idea of zombies.
*"The role of bereavement in the construction of Haitian zombies can be explored in terms of Sigmund Freud’s trademark theories on melancholia."

*"Essentially, Freud describes melancholia as the inability to cope properly with an irretrievable loss by failing to complete the usual, natural process of mourning."

*"Difficulties with severed relationships and loss have a profound impact on an individual’s psychological wellbeing and can lead to irrational and even pathological behaviors."

*"The loss leaves a gap within the self that must be healed through comfort, gratification, or the formation of new attachments to replace what has been lost or severed (Freud 1917: 241-244)."
