It highlights the evolution of vampire narratives from traditional depictions of evil to more complex, empathetic characters like Angel and Edward, showcasing their allure and moral dilemmas. By contrasting these modern interpretations with classic vampire lore, the chapter invites reflection on themes of identity, choice, and the nature of good versus evil.
