Chapter 52
Prolonged Frowning

People Affected:  mothers of dead children
People Affected:  grandmothers of dead grandchildren
People Affected:  men who loved a woman when she died
Type of Emotion:  muscular involuntary expression
Trigger Emotions:  maternal grief, grandmaternal grief, monogynic grief
Facial Expression:  corners of mouth are pulled down
Key Feature:  longer duration than momentary frowning
Purpose
Prolonged frowning helps prevent the death of kin.  Prolonged frowning makes the punishment of grief tangible to kin.

Prolonged frowning also helps groups.  If your co-workers or friends see you frown, your frowning makes grief tangible to non-kin.

Prolonged frowning saves more lives than grief.  Grief only punishes one person.  Prolonged frowning makes grief tangible to many people.

Facial Expression
Picture
Prolonged frowning is a longer version of momentary frowning.  While momentary frowning lasts less than a second, prolonged frowning lasts more than a second.
