Live to Die

A mini-essay on how vampirism is used in literature and why vampires are dope.

  Vampirism has been used as a tool to convey many fears, anxieties, and desires of humans, including the fear of death, the longing for ever-lasting youth, and the concept of eternity.

As mortals, humans are constantly faced with the looming presence of death. Most of us hope to make it to old age, yet it is not a guarantee. At any given moment tragedy can strike us or a loved one. The theme of immortality that plays out in vampire fiction is something we can only wish for. Escaping death is something we can only dream of and becoming a vampire would let us live out this desire. 

  Escaping the reaper ties into our next theme: the longing for eternal youth. As humans grow old, we gain knowledge and outgrow our childish naivete, yet this comes with a cost. While our mind matures, our body withers with the waves of time. Vampires seem to have the best of both worlds, gaining knowledge and experience in life without upcoming to its less tasteful consequences. 

  Lastly, while never-ending life seems like a dream, vampirism lets humans toy with one last concept: the toll eternity takes on a person. As the cliche goes, while vampires seem to live forever without withering or decaying, they also must face the consequences of immortality: while their loved ones come and go, they stay. Forever. The world around you decays, yet they don’t. This puts humans in a more desirable position, despite our fragility. 

  We use vampires not only to explore our desires but to teach ourselves a valuable lesson: what makes life valuable is its inevitable termination. Not only do we live to die, but really, we die so that we can live in fulfillment. 

A/n: the fact that I wrote this is ten minutes but haven’t touched my history essay in a week scares me.
