Vampires as predators are a great literary analogue for the real, more frightening predators in our society.<br /><br />Our victorian ancestors feared being tempted to evil. Today, with a media filled with these real monsters, we don't fear corruption of the innocent so much as the victimization of those same innocents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476003071479341936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-79520592513032376732012-04-30T12:03:38.762-04:002012-04-30T12:03:38.762-04:00yes vampires and demons go hand in hand.

Pretty much every culture has some kind of vampire/demon myth.<br /><br />Today we embrace the vampire for all his darkness and his abilities because he is so much better than the real monsters in the world we live in. I'd rather deal with a vampire than a rapist, murderer, crazy psychopath, suicide bomber, or religious fanatic that thinks all infidels should die- and I think many others would too. <br /><br />At least a vampires' needs and desires are apparent and not fueled by inexplicable things we can't understand or fathom like most of the "real" monsters in our world today who are fueled by mental issues and psychosis.Roxanne Rhoadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727784602361446818noreply@blogger.com
