The most alien thing Lilith has to deal with is the lack of humans she’s come in contact with. In class, we had a lot of people commenting that they assumed “Lilith’s Brood” was some sort of vampire book or some other supernatural characters of some sort would be opposite Lilith. She’s put in surprisingly human situations, or at least situations that the reader is familiar with, but without humans. This can probably be attributed to the fact that her race was studied by the Oankali prior to her capture. She’s forced into familiar situations, but seems to be the most distraught by her inability to come in contact with her fellow humans.
