People have more or less completely forgotten that vampires are meant to represent the monstrosity of an unchecked aristocracy/wealthy upper class. They sold their souls for power and now live exclusively by feeding off those beneath them. You don't just 'become' a vampire like you don't just 'become' rich. You can certainly become enthralled to a vampire though
I never actually realised this. Now I'm going to be thinking about every depiction of vampires I've been exposed to, for the rest of the day.
That was never the case. Traditional folk tales about vampires were a way to understand corpse decomposition. The narrative changed in 1819.
"That was never the case." "That then became the case."
which anthropologist are you relying on for this analysis?
