so I have not been able to post these small snippets here
but otherwise I hope one need not wait too long for a "decent blog" as such to appear
Anyway here is chapter 3: Nice to eat you (Acts of Vampires)
Vampires-Anne Rice, Dracula
Alluring, Mysterious, dangerous
Van Helsing- Nemesis of the Count
Vampires become younger by consuming people's blood
whilst the victim becomes like him, a vampire
vampirism is not always about vampires
it is about Selfishness, Exploitation, refusal to accept the anatomy of people
Hamlet, Ghost of is father, scrooge, Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.
There is a more sublime meaning
Ghosts and vampires are NEVER just about ghosts and vamps
it often involves : older figure (corrupt), a virginal female (purity)
older man kills off the younger female... Vampire story
Vampires can also be represented by seasons (the shifting of seasons from summer to winter)
Vampire stories are often about using a person till he or she is wasted away.
Till the person is consumed and destroyed
Naturalistic movement- survival of the fittest
Placing our desire particularly our agenda over and above the need of others (vampiristic)
e.g in order to remain undead - I must steal the life-force of someone's fate that matters less than my own
Explanation and selfless -the way of Vampires
Well here comes to the end of my short snippet on Vampire stories. And in the event that you do get affected or attached by Vampires for that matter... remember to eat your garlic
