Anyway, Vampires are neverending, they have haunted us for generations past and keep getting resurrected in better and more tasteful settings. There are lessons to be learned from these creatures of the night. Buffy is full of mythological and archetypical characters and messages. The good and bad, the heroes journey, the yearning to be good and the yearning to be bad, the wise old woman/man and the trickster, all and more, plus the demons who are vengence demons--straight from the Furies. The quest of Buffy when she turned eighteen is similar to Hercules. So, yes to not study pop culture would be a shame. When it is all said and done, this pop culture emulates the classics and because of this, it should be studied and put in college courses to be studied and how easy would mythology be to learn if you could compare it to Buffy the Vampire slayer?zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.com
