Seeing Things The Way A Vampire Would

Empathy is a powerful tool for understanding the world around you

. It opens you up to a whole new realm of possibility in expressing artistic expressions.

In order to write any decent piece of literature you have to start with character. Compelling individuals are the most important part of any tale. They are the reason for the story and the vehicle for the action. When writing about vampires, it is important for the author to try and get inside of the psychology of these creatures. You have to understand the mind of immortality, the soul of the killer, and the lust for blood.

The vampire is a dichotomy of elegance and danger. They are born in violence, being taken into the dark covenant by another of their kind. Whatever particular details may exist, the vampire's birth is always painful, and it always involves blood.

Yet this birth is the gateway to a whole new world; a world of power and immortality. One thing that almost all vampire tales have in common is the power of the beast.

So the birth of this creature is the death of the prone mortal, the weakness, the overpowering by a greater being. And yet in this process the person is reborn into a new, much more powerful existence.

In some vampires this could cause them to reject their old humanity, to hate it, to turn away from all things mortal. This is a rejection of weakness. When coupled with the vampires need for blood, it can lead to a violent reaction to humans in general.

On the other hand, many vampires go through a second emotional rejection, hating what they have become and longing for the simple life of mortality that they have left behind. The dichotomy of these two desires can tear apart a vampires soul, if they still possess one.
