In the movie Shaun of the Dead , there is a conflict between David and Shaun about Barbara, Barbara who has already been dead. David assumes that Barbara is no longer Shaun’s mother after a zombie bit her ( Shaun of the Dead ). Whereas, Shaun insists on Barbara’s still being his mother. According to the argument between these two characters, my opinion is Shaun’s assumption of Barbara’s identity is most problematic. Narrative Criterion According to the conversation between David and Shaun, David considers that Zombie Barbara and the woman they used to know are not the same people. This point of view can be connected with the Narrative continuity criterion raised by Marya Schechtman (9). The philosopher believes that the Narrative criterion with self-consciousness, memory, and “a recognition of the importance of being intelligible to myself” is the part, which makes a person who he is (Schechtman 18). It also means that all these properties make a personality more humane. Due to this explanation, it is possible to describe the scene from the movie correctly. According to David, Barbara has lost her “self-consciousness” and the “intelligible to herself ” based on the plot immediately after this scene. It is quite difficult to claim if Barbara still has her memory or not because some of the scenes show that there are still some minds zombies can have. The proof of this conclusion can be seen in the situation when Shaun is holding a gun and aiming at Barbara. The expression of a woman’s face at this moment is complicated. Moreover, when Shaun and Ed call their roommate Peter by his name, he turns his face and reacts to them. However, only memory without self-awareness is not enough to call him a rational and sane being. Although zombies have a human experience they are no longer people and can not think like humans. Besides, as Schechtman claims, a person needs to perceive himself as a thinking being to observe the actions taking place around him, to memorize and accumulate the experience gained (18). It is rather difficult to say whether the concepts of experience and observation can be applied to zombies. Such a creature is guided by instincts and acts not by logical reasoning but on the assumption of the simplest reflexes. Bodily Criterion In addition to the above-described method, Shaun is trying to prove that Barbara is still his mother by the Bodily Criterion. This approach assumes that a person remains the same when his or her body “consists in retaining the same functional organization” (Schechtman 18). It means that a person can be called a person if his or her body parts have not ceased to function and have retained their activity without changing the structure. Nevertheless, in the case of Barbara, this is unacceptable. She and other zombies do not care about personal identity and do not realize their inferiority from both the spiritual and the physical point of view. That’s why I assume that Shaun’s point is the most problematic one. The idea of the Bodily Criterion notes that the personality is only a physically conditioned essence, and this essence is the only component that is required for a human to remain himself. If the existence of the physical body ceases, the life of the in
