Today I would like to discuss the myths and development of vampires in our societies.
In many societies, there are many different tales of inhuman creatures. Vampires are one of the most prominent and prevalent of these nonhuman creatures. It's interesting to note the evolution of the vampire in society. The old tales of vampires depict them as bloodthirsty, soulless monsters. But in modern times the vampire has been romanticized. The fact is, the only reason the vampire myths were created was to explain strange deaths, as well as the various symptoms of death. Many of these supposed "signs" that indicate that a person is a vampire, are perfectly explainable as side-effects of death. Longer nails and hair, the skin has shrunk, etc. Now you may be wondering is there any truth to the blood drinking? Well, as for that, there certainly are individuals who drink blood but they're simply mentally disturbed. However, that doesn't make them vampires by any means. All in all, the vampire myths were merely created to give an explanation to unexplainable events.
You are soooooo right, Mollie! It makes me sick how right you are... Vampires have turned into such wussies! God, it's sooooo stupid how vampires are dictpicted in the movies! I mean, since when do vampires sparkle or sit around all day and drink blood or even GO OUT IN THE SUN?!! LOL, you're posts amuse me!
ReplyDeleteI've always wonder if the "drinking blood" part of the vampire stories came from those crazy tribes that drink cows blood and even human blood. To us that may seem crazy but to them its normal.
