| Quote (Badger3k @ Feb. 26 2011,09:14) | So, basically, Dracula could be considered a modern form of a god? Never thought of it that way, but it fits as the "preventer of death". I wonder if (a) it is true that vampires are more popular than ever and not just more out in the public (so to speak) and (b) if this has any connection at all with the reduction of people following traditional religion. I doubt it, but it just struck me as interesting.
(ps - Edward Cullen will never, ever, be associated with a god, even if he is as big a douche as any god created) |
I think there are several reasons why they're popular, "eternal love" with some "young (looking) hunky stud" is a major reason.
Perhaps it is a "more real" eternal life scenario as the get old, die and live eternally thing really makes less sense than being a vampire.
But hey, they're both for the lunatic fringe.
