  • You've pointed out a good number of similarities and most of them make pretty good sence but i don't think any of it makes Clem into a female Lee. They are just samples of certain thing's they both had to do.

    What I think make Clem sort of like a female Lee is more about her compassion and values. Lee was never quick to just kill someone and felt bad when he had to kill or allow someone to die. Lee taught Clem life lesson's and how to survive.. Taking all that he showed her and remembering Lee for that is part of what made Clem into the young woman she is becoming.

    Imagine if it were Carver who met Clem in the beginning. She would be much more of a heartless killer focused on only herself willing to kill and sacrifice anyone else only to keep herself alive without care or compassion for anyone else.
