Animal spirits Written by Lucy Jean (1/13/2004 11:58 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, More questions re: Lydia, penned by Kristen G.

] "[Lydia] had high animal spirits..."

] What does that mean?

I take it to mean that Lydia's spirits were of the baser kind, attached to physical gratification rather than more noble pursuits.--Which might be another reason the screenplay gives her the "I'm hungry" line.
