In the essay, I am using the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer to argue that contrary to common belief, happiness cannot be achieved through virtuous acts of power and honor. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the titular character finds herself at the forefront of the fight against evil; this is known to not be a personal choice but rather a prophecy indicating her as ‘the chosen one’. Throughout the course of the show, the main character is caught in the struggle between good and evil and never truly finds the happiness she believes she deserves. By examining the underlying meanings in the television show, one might find that achieving happiness is more complex than simply being a good and honorable person with a plethora of power.

The character Suzy Nakamura provides the reader of the graphic novel with the insight into what happens to someone who is Asian, but not someone who is necessarily an immigrant or someone who is first generation. This character allows the reader to see that although her family may have been living in America longer than the family of her white counterpart, that she is still considered to be different from other people. At the beginning of the novel, it is rumoured that Suzy and the only other Asian person in her class, Jin, are related. This rumour is based off of the fact that Suzy and Jin are both Asian, not based off of any actual fact. Once the rumour of a relation is found to be not true, their peers immediately jump to the conclusion that Suzy and Jin were, “arranged to be married on [Suzy’s] thirteenth birthday.” (Yang 31).

Through the narration by Nelly Dean as she speaks to Lockwood about Catherine Earnshaw’s story, it may not always be reliable information the readers are receiving based on opinions and judgments Nelly has already made about the people being spoken about.

Mrs. Dean had a bias towards what boy Catherine would end up with in a small way, she always leaned towards Edgar rather than Heathcliff due to their stark differences in the way they were raised. Another reason as to why us as readers can never assume that all aspects of the story are true is
