Suppose you spent your whole life believing yourself to be a person.
Now, suppose you found yourself in a situation where others consider you to be a monster instead. Furthermore, to be a person is now a "bad" thing, whereas you previously believed there to be little distinction between being a person and being a monster other than convenient identification.
Would you find it difficult to abandon all association with yourself as a person?
