The image of vampires in the works of different times
As we all know, most of the vampires in our movies and TV works are based on the novel Dracula written by Bram Stoker in 1897. This vampire image is recognized and impressed by most of people, and it also arouses my curiosity. In the works before Dracula appeared, what kind of image is the vampire, and what kind of changes have taken place after Dracula?What weak points of vampires are recognized and used by most authors (such as fear of the sun, fear of garlic, etc.)
I am also very curious about the psychological characteristics of vampires. For most vampires, whether they are more similar to humans or just have human like appearance, and their hearts are no different from monsters.Because there was a famous work called Twilight city before, but the vampires in it are very different from Dracula. Their feelings are no different from those of human beings. As a monster evolved from human beings, I want to know what the author thinks in different works.
And what kind of abilities do vampires have in different works is also an interesting question. In some works, vampires are like zombies, and those who are bitten by them will become new vampires. In some works, vampires have all kinds of super powers just like the mutants in X-Men. These are all topics worth exploring.
Their appearance also makes people curious, because most of the vampires in the works are very beautiful images, so I want to know whether it is the change after becoming a vampire, or whether the vampire will only select the good-looking human beings for transformation.The authors think that the human appearance of vampires is their real appearance or camouflage.
As well as the source of the first vampire in different works, the living environment of the vampire, and the identification method of the vampire, all these are the contents that I want to explore very much.
