I must humbly disagree and cite the earlier character of Barnabas Collins (Dark Shadows" TV series), created in the mid-1960's. Barnabas, cursed by a witch and turned into a vampire, very quickly came to despise the existence of a vampire and turned in a sympathetic anti-hero that audiences came to care about. I have always believed that Anne Rice, who was a twenty-something in the 60's and part of the demographic "Dark Shadows" was aimed at, was likely influenced at least in some small way (which she may or may not have ever admitted to) by the character of Barnabas and his increasing distaste of the Vamp (Un)Life. Barnabas set the stage for Louis, Nicholas Knight, Angel, Spike, Blade, and all other "vamp with soul/conscience" types that have followed.IrishSkyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343671943650210787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640810635567117529.post-70073496745901598042009-03-21T16:38:00.000-04:002009-03-21T16:38:00.000-04:00I found this today after Googling "Jungian archety...I found this today after Googling "Jungian archetype" and "Edward Cullen," wondering if anyone out there had the same theories I do.

I have somewhat similar feelings regarding my sudden fascination with these books-like what am I doing gazing at Robert Pattinson's photos?? I look forward to reading more of your vampire philosophy.<BR/>Jill (fellow 50 year old!)<BR/>Sherwood, ORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640810635567117529.post-18945961596004103812009-01-24T19:34:00.000-05:002009-01-24T19:34:00.000-05:00WOW!WOW!The Burlap Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040822416151179054noreply@blogger.com
