Dawn Sorrow
With the first three Twilight movies having been a huge success and the final two-part Breaking Dawn sure to be the biggest draw of them all, Vampire popularity has grown to an all time high. Long portrayed as violent, evil, and rather unsightly, the undead are now looked at as sexy, strong and highly desirable. This phenomenon is sure to continue as vampire characters are now the stars of movies and television and continue to be fan favorites.
As a family practice physician, I see people daily who are depressed over their medical illnesses and ever aging bodies. I believe immortality is therefore the number one lure that vampires have on us as viewers. The ability to be young, sexy, strong and virile is something we all desire, and the ability to be this way forever is the biggest reason vampires are so popular to people today. Vampires are faster, immune to illness and live forever. This ability to live forever and accumulate wealth and prosperity is also a highly desired benefit of being one of the undead.
Nothing seems to bring more sorrow to my patients and their loved ones than serious illness and death. The ability to have one's soul mate and loved one stay healthy and beautiful forever would allow us to love and be loved forever with no need to fear the sorrow encountered when a loved one is lost.
Fear is also a trait humans have that is, quite simply, not pleasant. To have no fear of anything or anyone would be something all of us would want for ourselves and others we know. This freedom to live life to the fullest without consequences would be wonderful to experience. Ski the steepest mountains, parachute from planes, race the fastest cars. There would be no limits to what you could experience.
Of course desiring to have all these benefits is one thing, but if vampires were still portrayed as murderous, cold, evil beings, their popularity would not be what it is today. On the contrary though, movies like Twilight, which is essentially a teenage love story, presents vampires as young, sexy and romantic beings bent more on protecting humans than feeding on them. Television also has done the same with HBO's True Blood presenting assimilated vampires living with, and having loving relationships with humans.
This vast change in the presentation of the vampire in the entertainment world has led to the ever-growing popularity of vampires in our society. With Twilight chugging along towards the final installments of the series and True Blood coming back for another season on HBO, the genre is here to stay. I, for one, wish I could live forever to see where it goes from here!
