Octavia Entry #4: Layered Question

What questions is Lilith forced to struggle with as she comes to terms with what the Oankali demand of her as a "mother" in Dawn? What controversial issues do these questions parallel in our society today? Considering the resulting factions of humanity and Lilith's adopted roles in Adulthood Rites, does it sound like Butler is advocating a particular stance on the issues?

Geez, coming up with layered questions is harder than it sounds. Maybe its just the text we're covering. Hopefully, that's a good one.

  1. Yes, the layered question thing is difficult, but you're getting the hang of it, as evidenced by this excellent (layered) question!
