Why do we mourn public figures?
On 8 September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. At the time of writing, the U.K. is in the midst of a prolonged period of public mourning.
Regardless of your thoughts about the monarchy, it’s undeniable that countless people were genuinely saddened by the Queen’s passing, and that many have been experiencing profound grief 1 it. This is a fascinating phenomenon, because grief is a complex and demanding process. So, why would so many 2 grief over the loss of someone they’ve likely never met, and who almost certainly had no idea that they existed?
Rather than an oddity, such grief is actually 3 . It’s because of how our brains work. Humans are incredibly social creatures. It’s the basis for our dominance of the planet. We form 4 connections with other individuals like no other species. But despite what many assume, this need not be a mutual thing. It’s entirely possible for us to deeply and emotionally 5 someone who doesn’t even know we’re there.
Parasocial relationships are the basis of 6 culture and every sort of fandom. After all, it’s entirely possible for people to develop deep and powerful emotions for individuals who don’t even exist.
If we take this into account, it suddenly doesn’t seem so odd then that people would be able to 7 genuine affection for a real individual, especially one who may have been a(n) 8 of their world for decades. 9 , they would also then experience grief as a result of the death of that person. And because human sociability is so important, we’re often keen to express that grief with others, especially with those who share similar feelings. It’s another way of 10 , of reinforcing our remaining connections, at a time when we’ve lost one.
But humans aren’t just social. We’re also hierarchical (有层级的), we instinctively. 11 status, like being looked up to by others, and looking up to others in turn. We learn from others and the examples they provide. From back in the early days of our species, where aspiring to be like the best hunters or warriors was a useful survival trait, to the present day, we 12 to look up to, identify with and want to imitate the visibly more successful members of our society.
While the death of a high-profile and beloved individual often leads to widespread public mourning, the Queen’s passing is 13 on an even more profound level. This is because the Queen was visibly the head of British public life for seven decades. For someone living in the UK, she was just ‘there’, all day every day. On our money, our stamps, in the anthem, involved in all our laws and politics. She was essentially 14 . And her death showed us that one of the parts of our world which had seemed so 15 and unchanging, wasn’t. This made our world feel suddenly and fundamentally more uncertain.
