“A revenant is an angry spirit or reanimated corpse, typically believed to return from the grave to terrorize the living. This image offers a specific, terrifying image and creates certain expectations for the reader.” (citation?) This makes sense because the attitude in Collins’, “The Revenant”, the dog that was put to sleep has hatred for his owner. On the opposite side of that, the attitude in Chappell’s, “The Felines of Heaven” is that the cats love their owners as shown by “They loved us better than we could love ourselves”
