244 Words1 Page

To begin with, there are many sources to show that vampire bats are misunderstood. First, research by Stefan Klose gives evidence vampire bats should be saved. For example, research by Chris Kraul, journalist for the Los Angeles Times, shares the opinion of an expert research zoologist, Stefan Klose. Klose speaks his heart for the creatures by saying at feeding time it always remind him “how close these animals are to us and how incredibly intelligent they are- certainly more exotic and wilder than my neighbor’s dog.” Thus, Klose also points out that are only three species of vampire bats and that we should save them. Secondly, Klose also gives evidence these vampire bats have led to medical discoveries that are beneficial to people. For instance,

    All fiction requires a reader to buy in to the world and characters that have been created, but sometimes stories can either be too unbelievable for the reader to relate to or they lean too much towards reality to be classified as fantasy. Karen Russell constructed a novel of exemplary short stories under the title Vampires In The Lemon Grove. Her stories are said to “vibrate with originality and life” with “imaginative reach and moral weight of works of much greater length.” The praise received for this collection of short stories is much deserved, and being her second novel after her award winning Swamplandia!, the author from Miami, Florida, has a bright future in short stories.

    Throughout many types of literature, violence exists to enhance the readers interest in order to add a sense of excitement or conflict to a novel. This statement withholds much truthfulness due to the fact that without violence in a piece of literature such as Dracula by Bram Stoker, the plot would not have the same impact if it was lacking violence. Dracula's power and evilness led to the violent happenings which began with the conflict of Jonathan's inner struggle, as compared to the conflict which blossomed later on with good versus evil.

    The version that I focused on for the sake of this essay was the book. I did watch eleven of the thirty-three Dracula movies that I own, so some references will be made to the movies. The book is told from the perspective of Jonathan Harker’s journal, with some letters to and from his girlfriend Mina. The purpose of his visit with Count Dracula is that Harker is selling a building to Dracula. Carfax Abby was in England where Dracula wanted to move. Harker went to Transylvania to assist Count Dracula in his move to England.

    In one of William Shakespeare’s most renowned and celebrated plays, the story of a General named Othello unravels in tragic form as he falls victim to the lies created by Iago. Once revered as a war hero and wed to the beautiful Desdemona, Othello’s life spirals downward with the untimely death of his beloved in his own hands, ultimately ending with his own demise. Love is the force behind this tragedy. Tragedy is the main driving force that brings happiness and tragedy to the characters within the play. But even as such a prominent force, it lacks clear definition. Love has a different meaning to the characters in the play. Characters like Othello, Desdemona, and Iago all have different perspectives on love, which informs their behavior in different ways.

  • Analysis Of Guillermo Del Toro And Chuck Hogan's Article 'Why Vampires Never Die'

    1176 Words  | 3 Pages

    Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s article, “Why Vampires Never Die” argues that vampires are being turned into these loveable undead beings instead of how they were originally seen as evil creatures of the night (Toro and Hogan 361). Vampire in the dictionary is defined as “a reanimated corpse held to rise from the grave at night to suck the blood of sleeping people” (Soukhanov). Obviously the vampires today have strayed quite far from that definition. Vampires have turned from hideous monsters into an undead romantic partner (Toro and Hogan 361). I agree with the statement Toro and Hogan are making, in this day and age vampires are being humanized and treated more like sex symbols than what they were previously

    While the character of Renfield is ostensively extraneous to the central plot of Dracula, he fulfils an important role in Stoker’s exploration of the central themes of the novel. This paper will examine how Renfield character is intertwined with the three central themes of invasion, blood and otherness. Firstly, through Renfield’s inner struggle we learn that he is ‘not his own master’ (Stoker, 211). The theme of invasion is revealed by the controlling and occupying powers of Count Dracula. Secondly, the recurring theme ‘the Blood is the Life’ (Stoker, 121), is portrayed throughout the novel and has been interpreted through Stoker’s character Renfield. Then finally, a look at the social construction of the ‘other’ in Dracula and how, through Renfield, who is ‘unlike the normal lunatic’ (Stoker, 52), the Count emerges as the ‘other’ of all ‘others’.

  • How Are Vampires Exist?

    2176 Words  | 5 Pages

    You may have asked, do vampires truly exist? Can the Folklore be real? Can humans become vampires? Vampires came from myths long ago in Europe. Marc Lallanilla in his article “The Real Dracula: Vlad the Impaler,” explains that the myth came from the actions of a historical figure, “The morbid nickname is a testament to the Wallachian prince 's favorite way of dispensing with his enemies”(Lallanilla). The Vampire story came from a prince that impaled his enemies with stakes and actually had a bloodlust. That is a good example of how Vampires can be similar to human beings, because some humans can be the worst vampires there are. There may not be real life vampires that live off eating human blood, but people are a little similar to them. Humans are closely related to the monsters known as vampires, but not when it comes to sucking on human flesh for blood, the similarity is they do horrible acts like murdering someone, polluting the earth, do human trafficking,

    A zombie is actually a corpse that is being born again by black magic or drugs in the other hand vampire is a scary creature that like drinking human or animal blood and always do their activity at night. I think you are agreeing with me that they are creepy and powerful creatures. Vampires originally are from Slavic mythology. Vampires usually lived in the big castle and they must drink blood everyday to survive while zombies are a tradition of American culture. The origin of zombies was from an evil sorcerer who brought back corpses by using his magic to kill people. We may see a zombie and vampire in the novel or movies such as Twilight Saga, Resident Evil, and many more.

  • Vampires

    Vampires have fell under a certain stereotype ever since the early nineteenth Century, and even up until today. Movies, novels and people in general have depicted vampires as bloodsucking demons who turn into bats, and I am sure everyone is familiar with any vampires need to seduce women almost daily. Vampires are said to be " an alien nocturnal species," as Nina Auerbach's book-"Our vampires, ourselves" states; but all vampires are not the coffin lying, shadow loitering monsters that the media perceives them to be. First of all, vampires are neither inhuman nor nonhuman, " they are simply more alive than they should be." What does this statement infer? Does this perception imply that vampires are actually ghosts? No, vampires have simply adapted or evolved through time, yet the bulk of American citizens still see vampires as they were back in the 1800's due to the fictional mutation of our media. One of the only correct stereotypical inferences towards vampires is that they have had a strong history of having mortals as companions, and not just females, even though females play a big part in describing vampires. Vampires have had a history of constantly longing for women to fulfill their fantasies, and this particular distinction is one of the ones that is true, along with the ever famous "I vant to suck your blood,"
