Creative Writing: Vampire Slayer

Sinner or saint is a significant dichotomy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Several characters are able to bridge this: Spike and Buffy being two of the notable examples, playing both roles throughout the series. However, the female vampires of the series consistently fall into the latter category of sinner, and not only that, but a sexually deviant or hyper sexualized sinner. There are no recurring female vampires in the show that do not become categorized in this extreme way. Drusilla was once a nun, but once turned, all of that religious devotion disappears.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a supernatural drama series lasting from March of 1997 to May of 2003 was a popular television show created by Joss Whedon. The show is considered one of the top fifty shows of all times for many reasons including the fact that it is deeply rooted in the literary tradition, the episodes always having deeper meanings and metaphors. The show was so successful despite being on a small network that it led to hundred of tie-in products such as novels, comics, and video games according to Wikipedia. The show went as far as winning many awards and achievements including a total of three Emmys including Outstanding Writing for the episode of “Hush”. In the episode of “Hush” there are monsters called the “gentlemen” who appear in the town and steal everyone’s voice. Buffy and her friends, who already lacked communication had to defeat those monsters using a source to interactive way in order to get it done. The episode “Hush” shows the significance and effectivity of having good communication which is something that is taken for granted.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a difficult media to classify into one genre. An obvious classification of the programme¡¦s genre would be horror; but this isn¡¦t entirely true, because the show has more concepts and themes that a horror movie would, and deals with more issues as well. The show uses elements contained in the more fantasy-orientated horror movies (such as Dracula): these include mythological beings such as vampires, demons and zombies; things that aren¡¦t always contained in horror movies. In the episode ¡§Dead Man¡¦s Party¡¨, the show deals primarily with the undead (a vampire appears near the beginning of the episode, and has very little effect on the story). Mythology is also applied in the form of a Nigerian mask, which

"Yikes, don't give Dolls a room- his version of foreplay probably involves corporal punishment and interrogation." Wynonna teased and slugged back something that was cool down her throat but left an aftertaste like an ashtray. "I bet all the girls just crumble for him," She clicked her tongue.

Buffy and her gang were able to capture the hearts of fans all around the world because everyone could relate to them. They faced everyday problems like high school drama, studying for a final, and boyfriends. They also kept secrets from the people around them. They were not always honest with each other. The show is considered to be a metaphor for adolescence and young adulthood. Their high school is located in Sunnydale, California which is a "Hellmouth." This is a place full of evil and demonic energy which can be a good way to describe high school. Buffy and her gang fought demons all the time. These demons represent the obstacles in life that everyone faces everyday. In the episode "Hush" Buffy and her gang are able to communicate with

Buffy Summers is a princess- not the typical ball gown and magical princess though. She is a princess for a few reasons other than being related to royalty. In the show, Giles tells the gang the only way to kill the monsters is a scream, later Buffy screams just like how in the story the princess screams. When she screams she remembers how Mr. Giles was telling the story of how the princess screamed and killed the monsters. The monsters hate noise which is why they take the voices of others and die

She lies to Buffy’s mother and says she and Buffy are good friends who had plans to study together that night, and because of her lack of knowledge about the vampire world, she invites the vampire inside to wait for Buffy’s return. Angel comes to the house wanting to apologize and explain things to Buffy, but when Darla convinces him to ‘take a bite’ of Buffy’s mother, he gives in, giving Darla the opportunity to sneak out. When Buffy returns, she finds Angel in the kitchen, and her mother on the floor with a bite mark in her neck. Buffy immediately blames Angel, and tells him he is no longer invited into her house. Since he is a vampire, he has to be invited in before entering a human’s house, forcing him to leave before he can explain what actually happened. When Buffy does find out that Darla was in her house, the “unhomey” and unheimlich feelings return to her. Freud states that “Naturally not everything which is new and unfamiliar is frightening… Something has to be added to what is novel and unfamiliar to make it uncanny” (The Uncanny. 2) which means that dealing with vampires is not an uncanny occurrence for Buffy, but having to deal with hurt feelings over Angel’s sudden uncanniness, Darla in her home, and her injured mother, makes the entire situation uncanny

"You make it sound like your rulers are kind and compassionate..." The alien remarked, without any sarcasm in his voice.

“Where are you?” He asked, probably hearing her slur. His voice lost some of its sting and was replaced by, was it, concern? No, she wasn’t that drunk. At least, she thought so until she tried to read the clock. So far, she’d only deduced that it was at least two a.m., meaning she’d been here for a minimum of four hours.

The balance, Buffy reminded herself. That's what her mother had always been concerned with. Buffy fighting demons every night wasn't about winning, so much. It was about balance. About keeping the world off the brink of evil, even if you could never erase evil from its plane. Good needed evil to exist, Buffy could concede that. It just sucked that she personally had been

“Well… Sting and Rogue and Yukino were there too,” Lucy spoke and Natsu paled a little.

For that's why I think at end Spike try to kiss Buffy. She was shocked and panic for a moment. At one point I thought she is going to accept it but she make it clear that it wouldn't be him by pushing him away and throwing money in his face and purposefully using the same word which will hurt him most you are beneath me. Its interesting to watch how she control herself.

Turns out, Angelus, Angel demonic side, takes over him, and he struggles to stay sane and on top of the world as he knows it. Soon Angelus has complete control over Angels’ body and Buffy has to come a complete decision on what to

When Buffy: The Vampire Slayer premiered on American televisions in 1997, nobody expected much of it. It was a campy, teen horror-comedy about a monster-fighting valley girl, based on a mediocre, five year old movie. However, with the use of snappy dialogue, adult themes, and memorable characters, this little cult hit spread into a phenomenon that lasted 144 episodes over seven seasons. Buffy's success can be attributed to many factors, not limited to those listed above, but the strength of it's eponymous lead character certainly gave the series a significant leg-up amongst other supernatural dramedies. Buffy Summers, in all her cheerleading, monster-slaying glory, became the face of female characters on television trough a combination of complex
