Vampires - - Lyliane LY

"200 years of vampires"


A long time ago, there were a lot of stories, tales or folk songs dealing with vampires. One of the first books which was dealing with vampires was "The Vampyre" written by Dr Polidori. Then other stories appeared such as "Dracula", "Buffy the Vampire Sleyer" ot currently the famous one "Twilight".
Vampires were first described like monsters drinking human blood, killers. And people had to be scared of them. Directors of films represent them like that :






But currently vampires have taken an other dimension : Indeed they are now a sort of sex symbols, partly because of Stephanie Meyer's book : Twilight. She talks about vampires as perfect humans : strong, smart, beautiful and fast but really lonely, sometimes violent and they have a cold white skin which cannot appear in the sun.





This is the way people represent vampires in "Twilight".
