My second post will be a continuation of our class discussion of whether Gilda is truly evil or if she is a good person as most vampires are perceived as bad or evil people. In class we discussed the actions of Gilda and analyzed whether this was good or bad. Gilda preys on unsuspecting victims for their blood. Once she attacks, she feeds on them for her own well-being. However, unlike many other vampires, Gilda gives something in return to her victims. I believe that the act of feeding off of humans for their blood is entirely wrong. These people are VICTIMS, which is an important word to emphasize. It would be the same instance of being robbed, stabbed, shot & etc, you are the victim. If you were stabbed or shot, it wouldn't really make a difference whether you received something in return for it, would it? It doesn't give back your sense of security, comfort and your life which has been taken for the well being of someone else. I believe this is an evil act which violates people, whether or not something is given back to the victim.
However, I do not believe Gilda wishes to harm anyone and that she dislikes that this is what she has to do in order to survive. It's very unfortunate. I believe Gilda is still a good person and that her intentions are not to hurt others.
