Vampires have changed so much over time. First we had the scary Dracula
who was always out for peoples blood. However, we did not stay with this
form of vampires. Instead, we changed them to be hippies in the lost
boys, non-talking beasts in I Am Legend, and sparkling god like
creatures in Twilight. There is one aspect about them, however, that has
not changed and cannot change in order for them to be considered a
vampire. They are still the same unnaturally creature that has to feed
on blood.
Do we justify the behavior of a vampire by making them appealing and
vegetarians? I think we have deluded ourselves into thinking that a
blood sucking monster, that has always been freaky in the past, could
change into something that a human could ever be with. Have we changed
the character of the vampire so much that we no longer see the reality
of who they are?
This actually makes sense to me and I understand what you are saying. It's like we changed something just to make it acceptable in society.
