In this scene a new character is introduced who is not a Zombie.
This comes as a shock not only to Columbus but also to the
audience as they thought Columbus was the only person who
was still human. The character is first portrayed as a
mysterious character as he doesn't seem friendly. Also we
don't know his name which means that we don't know his
background or how he has survived.

first however they soon realise they are the only two left. The 2nd character is
mysterious as we don’t know how he's survived or what happened where he is from.

the tragedy of what is happening and how many people have
lost their life.

from what has happened.

the protagonist’s voice over, as well as the
