Study Subject A -- The Vampire
Femme Vampire
The vampire, is a creature know for it's elegance and refinement (at least the Bram Stoker's Dracula). Although in recent times, found to be just as instinctual and animalistic as other creatures of the night. A good example of recent years (this entire post is brought to you by "Incorrect Use of Pencil Sharpeners" posted on Seven is What? by Seven_Is_Darker) is the incarnation of werewolves and vampires in Underworld. The vampires did not much change from the stories of the past. Although I got the impression from the movie that the vampires of Underworld had not gotten past many of the traits that make man the way they are.
For instance, the "savior" of Kate Beckinsale's character, was actually the killer of her family that he told her he rescued from the "terrible" vampires. When in reality, he had killed them all, and drained their blood, but when he got to her he could not kill her, as she reminded him of his own daughter, which he callously had killed because she was involved with a werewolf.
But in past times, as I base a lot of my perception of vampires, on the writings of Bram Stoker, the vampire had no malice for the werewolf. The vampire was a seducer, whether male or female, and appealed to the senses. Fantasizing of great things that resided in their "victims" hearts, egging them on to let down their guard and give into the feelings that the vampire projected onto the person. Very ethereal (sorry I like that word) and emotional. Rendering their victim in a hypnotic, emotionally venerable state where it was then easy to gain access to what was desired.
Vampires, although scientifically it would seem impossible, where very sexually oriented creatures. But the difference between what is perceived as sexual but is really sensual is what the key is. Although some may think that it is impossible for vampires to be sexual, there is a degree to which a person can be sexual without the act of sex. This is the vampire. A creature of seduction and wiles.
Study Subject B -- The Werewolf
Werewolf by Frank Frazetta
The werewolf is a creature of power and instinct. Their power is mostly physical, and somewhat psychological. The werewolf strikes fear directly. There is no seduction. The actual presence of the werewolf brings about fear and panic. They feed on that fear, it is much like the blood to the vampire. The werewolf has no need for sustenance, as in the vampire does with blood. Any killing done by the werewolf is the instinct of preservation or the need for food. Much like animal itself.
The wolf has been given the "tag" of a killer, much as people label sharks indiscriminate killers. But the wolf is not. Yes they may be ferocious and dangerous, but they are not killers, in the sense that humans are. They kill when necessarily, such as mentioned above. There is no need to kill for greed, jealousy, or other such human traits.
Study Subject C -- The Conclusion
Whatever appeals to you more, seems to lends to reveal things about what a person is on the inside. Both creatures demand a sort of power that is intoxicatingly desirable. But they are very different. Both are dominate, but in different ways.
The Vampire.
It's power comes from suggestion. It's ability to persuade someone to it's fold. Much like religion and politics. It is not about right out aggression, although when need, it can be used. The vampire almost seeks to avoid confrontation. Preferring to mislead it's victims and followers to believe that the vampire itself is in control of them. Even though they could, if able to break free from the vampire's hold, could revolt and escape. The vampire is much like the dominate abuse that is not physical, but is still abuse. That is why the vampire is represented both as a male and female gender, as both genders are capable of being abused and being the abuser. Although this may seem way beyond what is represented by the creation of the vampire, these are just the musings of a man that thinks too much.
The Werewolf.
The Werewolf's power is direct. There is no seduction or guile. It's there in your face. The werewolf is a killer, tearing apart the flesh of his victim, and ripping out throats. This is the representation of an all out grasp for power. Such a violent display of power, suggests that the werewolf is trying to assert itself into the chain of command. As if by saying that because I can cause such mass carnage that my power must be recognized. It appeals to those that have the need to assert themselves as an aggressor among those that challenge their power. (And this makes no assumption as to Mr. Darker's reasons for choosing to be a werewolf over a vampire.)
Both have feelings and characteristics that are desires that we bury deep down inside of us. They are things that are forbidden and yet hated. The embrace of such displays of power are what bring about such stories of these creatures of the night. What we want to, but yet do not act upon are the very things that inspire some of the greatest minds, and some of the greatest creations.
