Heroines always go home with a vegetarian. But they dream about the bad guy. Why is that? They’re safe with their hearts’ desire but their body’s lust pushes them out of their comfort zone and makes the story that much more interesting.
Now, that vegetarian isn’t always a vamp. Vegetarian = someone who won’t bite our heroine (at least…his bite won’t turn her into a vamp!) But that bad boy is always a vamp. And he always really, really wants to nibble on the heroine.
Two wildly popular series, Twilight and True Blood, have this down to a ‘t’! Bella is our heroine and even though Edward repeatedly puts her in danger, she never falls for Jacob, the vegetarian. Sam, Alcide, Quinn…Sookies’ veggie list goes on and on. But first she’s with vampire Bill and then Eric catches her eye and won’t let go….I can’t wait to find out what Sookie gets into next!
Even The Vampire Diaries follows this “forbidden fruit” story. Stefan can’t stay away from Elena and Elena SHOULD fall for Matt, the best friend who has been around forever and is clearly her perfect match….But Stefan and Damon are right there in the way.
Clearly it’s lust for the unknown. The vegetarian is our constant…he’s always there to pick up the pieces. He’ll always love you and always support you and will take you back no matter how many times that stupid blood-sucker breaks your heart. And somehow, in every story, our heroines’ life is perfect and then the bad guy shows up and sows a seed of discontent…and we’re off and running! But I guess it wouldn’t make much of a story if there wasn’t discontent. Who likes to open a book that says “and they lived happily ever after. THE END” on the first page?
