Would You Understand What I Meant If I Said I Was Only Human?”
”Would you understand what I meant if I said I was only human?” The Image of the Vampire in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight and Charlaine Harris’s Dead Until Dark Jessica Dimming Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap English IV 15hp Supervisor Magnus Ullén Examiner Adrian Velicu HT 2012 Abstract In this essay I have decided to look at two very popular vampire novels today, Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The focus of this essay is to look at the similarities and differences between these two novels and compare them to each other but also to the original legend of the vampire; this by using Dracula and other famous vampire stories to get an image of the vampire of pop-culture. I look at the features of the vampires, their abilities and different skills, and also sex and sexuality and how it is represented in these different stories. Even though the novels attract a wide audience they are written for a younger one and have a love story as its center. In this essay I give my opinion and view of the vampires and what I believe to be interesting with the morals and looks of the vampires as one of the different aspects. 2 Content Introduction 3 The Gothic novel 6 The legend of the vampire 7 Setting 10 Narrator 38 Features of the vampires in Twilight 43 Features of the vampires in Dead Until Dark 53 Vampires as sexual objects 67 Love and sexuality in Twilight 75 Love and sexuality in Dead Until Dark 86 Conclusion 95 Works cited 30 3 Introduction Dead Until Dark and Twilight by top selling authors Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer are both novels written for young adults, somewhere between the ages of 14-24, with one major theme in common, vampires.

You haven’t got all night!” My head poked out from underneath the blanket like a turtle from its shell and I looked at her with bleary eyes. “I’m actually pretty sure that I do.” “Oh good. You’re alive.” My mother frowned in concern. “You’ve been sleeping through a lot of days lately.” “Well, I’ve been working nights.” “Let me check.” “Oh, Mom, for God’s sake—” “Let me. Check.” There was no waffling in Mom’s tone; noth- ing that indicated that there was going to be any wiggle room in the discussion or any possible negotiating of terms. You’d think I was fourteen instead of twenty-four.

When Vampires Come out of the Closet: an Analysis of Southern Values and Ways of Dealing with Difference
When Vampires Come out of the Closet: An Analysis of Southern Values and ways of Dealing with Difference Featuring Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries By Laurel Martin The Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies 2016 Rhodes College 1 Introduction In 2001, Southern author Charlaine Harris published Dead Until Dark, the first book in what would grow to be a thirteen-novel series known as the Southern Vampire Mysteries. Continuing the pattern of novels Harris had written before (i.e. the Aurora Teagarden books and the Shakespeare Mysteries), The Southern Vampire Mysteries focuses on a female protagonist— in this case, Sookie Stackhouse—in a deep southern setting. Harris released one Sookie Stackhouse book a year and wrapped up her work in 2013, by which time True Blood, the television show inspired by her novels, had become wildly popular. With thirteen million viewers during its peak time, True Blood proved to be one of HBO’s most popular shows ever, and The Southern Vampire Mysteries were certainly Harris’ most popular novels thus far, with several reaching the New York Times Bestseller List (Garofalo) (Rich). Charlaine Harris was born and raised in the Mississippi River Delta, earned her bachelor’s degree in English and Communication Arts at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, lived in Arkansas, and currently resides in Texas. She uses her experience of living all over the mid-south in her Southern Vampire Mysteries series when she introduces the new threatening, ostracized social group of vampires into the small, fictional town of Bon Temps in Northern Louisiana. The oppression and judgment that vampires and other supernatural beings meet there resonates historically with the attitude in the south when groups previously judged as inferior fought for rights and power.
