The Omega Jane: Difference between revisions

"The Omega Jane"'s parallels to ''I Am Legend'' are limited to the general history and current situation in which the protagonists find themselves. "The Omega Jane" takes place over a few days, with Jane reminiscing briefly about her experiences during the plague; ''I Am Legend'' takes place over a much longer period of time, chronicling the deaths of the immediate family of the protagonist, Robert Neville, during the pandemic. While Jane is level-headed and focused on protecting herself and looking after Daria's needs, Neville is moody, not always able to complete his tasks, given to drink, yet also moved to discover the scientific basis for the condition of the victims of the disease. The undead in "The Omega Jane" are called zombies (though might be more properly called ghouls); the undead in ''I Am Legend'' are called vampires, and respond to certain stimuli as do the vampires of classic horror, e.g, they fear religious icons and cannot see their reflections in mirrors.
