The overall outline of Lilith is about a group of rebels who are trying to rescue the human race against a group of aliens invading earth. It’s all coincided with a war between humans and aliens, the Oankali, who wish to interbreed with the human. They call it genetic interbreeding.
When it comes to looking at majoritarian culture, and their values, I feel that it brakes it. The majoritarian culture, and everything they stand for is very traditional, and how even though everyone may have their own decisions, I don’t think interbreeding with another non human race would be one that wouldn’t sit well with them.
Overall, the story is trying to challenge traditional norms with something radically different and exciting. The idea of relationships between two people of serrate races and sexes and orientations are usually a hot button issue in the real world society. There are real world individuals who have that kind of mindset of what they believe is right or wrong. Having a story like this needed to be made. Now having an interspecies relationship creates an even bigger impact, for better or worse, and sees how a relation like that can be sustained and can be interpreted towards readers is interesting to me. I really feel that stories like these interest me because of how different it is from other stories like that.
