Vampire Script

There are four essentials of a Vampire story. The first one is an older person who is corrupt and usually a male. The second aspect is a young person who is usually a virginal female. Third, the young individual has her youth, energy, and innocence taken away from her, while the older individual continuous to have a prosperous life. Lastly, the young individual dies or destructs.

At first glance, Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the hour-long TV series which premiered in 1997 and is now in its third season, bears little resemblance to the book which started the vampire craze -- Bram Stoker's Dracula, published a century earlier. And yet, looks can be deceiving. Although the trendy -- and often skimpy -- clothing and bandied about pop-culture references of "Buffy" clearly mark the series as a product of a far different culture than that of the Victorian England of Dracula, the underlying tensions of the two texts are far similar than one might think. Beneath the surface differences in the treatment of their heroines, the two texts

Who would’ve guessed that the modern tale of vampirism is nothing more than an exaggerated representation of many of the people in our current society? One of the best metaphors for drug addiction is the blood lust of a vampire. Consistently throughout literature and television, vampires are portrayed as impulse-reacting monsters that lack self control. “Each of the vampire’s victims are momentary meals and the vampires are drawn to them through the needs of their subconscious” (Ramsland 5). Vampires directly represent drug addicts because the two are both drawn to something that they will eventually feel guilty for, but neither of them can turn down the opportunity to indulge. What is addiction? According to Pawel Jedras, author of “The Role of Anticipation in Drug Addiction and Reward,” “addiction [is] the craving [or need] for something that is not actually needed or necessary for survival” (Jedras). “Vampires in the Lemon Grove” by Karen Russell is a story consisting of vampires and the idea of addiction. The story’s main characters are two married vampires named Clyde and Magreb. Clyde is a recovering blood addict and Magreb is his supportive wife. The story focuses on Clyde and the problems that his addiction causes in his life. “Vampires in the Lemon Grove” by Karen Russell, represents a person’s struggle with drug addiction, seclusion from others, and the pushing away of loved ones because Clyde does all of these

Despite the fact that Irishman Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) is arguably replete with Catholic allegory, little critical attention has been paid to its pro-Catholic theme. Nor does any stage or screen adaptation faithfully foreground the text’s Catholicism. The novel’s religious analogy is obvious: in the most basic of his many perversions of Catholic lore, Count Dracula is the figurative anti-Christ who promises eternal life through the ingestion not of sacramental wine representing the blood of Christ, but of actual human blood.

The main characters, both good and evil, are well-fleshed out. Robert is the typical hero: he is always doing the honorable thing and fighting the enemy to save the princess - even if it means dying in the process. Simmonne is sweet and honest; however, at times I felt that the author depicted her as a weak female in a world dominated by men. Oul’sor, Robert’s worthy enemy, is blinded by

Foster states that the essentials of the Vampire story are vampires preying on young woman in order to lure them into joining vampires. However, Foster additionally states that Vampire story does not have to be about vampires only. For instance, Foster gives an example of “governess who tries, without success, to protect the two children in her care from a particularly nasty ghost who seeks to take possession of them” (Foster 18). Through this example, Foster proves that Vampire story can be in any from without including any instance of vampire literally.

The concept of this comedy-romance script is smart. It’s a high-concept premise that easily engages the audience. The first thirty pages offer a likeable protagonist in the character of Sue Ellen. Her goal is clear and the stakes feel personal. The audience easily engages to the plotline and one effortlessly roots for Sue Ellen. It’s the type of concept that feels marketable.

This is the main aim of this investigation - to identify and discuss the factors which influenced the constantly changing literary and cultural depiction of vampires. What turned the symbol of threat and horror into a mysterious outsider?

“Vampire Religion” is an article written about Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” The article is one that was found very useful in reading and understanding the story. Christopher Herbert, the author, argues of the importance that religion and events of the world played on the writing of “Dracula.” There are two parts to the article, one is “Religion/Superstition” and the second part is “The Vampire in the Church.” Both parts are vital to the article.

While the concept is terrific, the script and series of events would really benefit from more development to have it fully realize it’s potential.

2. Read and evaluate sources. Next, examine each source and think about how you will use it to support the content of your script. Be an active researcher by asking the following questions about each source you reference:

In God of Carnage, although it seems as if the protagonist is not just one character and each of the characters propels the story, I believe that Veronica is the protagonist. She is the person to, not only open the show, but introduce the situation that will later have to be solved at the end of the play. She immediately introduces the problem and through the entirety of the play pushes forward and attempts to bring this whole circumstance to a conclusion. It is even stated that it was Veronica’s idea to bring the parents together. Although at the beginning of the play Annette attempts to thank both Michael and Veronica for the invitation to try and fix the problem, later it is revealed by Michael that it was veronica who “organized this shindig”

In vampire literature, there is always a mortal female willing to risk her life to be with a vampire. These females are willing to do anything to be with these immortal creatures for a lifetime of endless love, regardless of the danger. Is mortal love not enough anymore? With vampires, they seduce their prey in order to feed. Vampires intrigue women with love, sex, romance, and most importantly mystery. Vampires are much more desirable then mortal men, even though they can potentially kill you. Their love is endless compared to mortal love.

In every great story or tale the protagonist needs his or her antagonist to create obstacles and challenge the main character. Traditionally the villain of the story, the bad to the main characters’ goodness, pop culture has revolutionized what it means to be the antagonistic character. Gone are the days where the villains were ugly pitiful creatures; now replaced by gorgeous men that make fangirls’ heart flatter.
