Post #3, Prompt #3

Following the discussion we had in class about Julius and Gilda, i believe that it was both selfish of Gilda, however it was also out of love. First off I think that Julius should have been informed about all of the complications that came with being a vampire. I believe that Gilda was in need of a companion. She wanted someone to share her experiences with that would not leave her. Although she ultimately let Julius make the final decision to be turned into a vampire, it was hard for him to say no because in a way Gilda started his "transformation" process before he knew what was going on. Similarly, i believe that Gilda was also put into the "transformation" process before she really knew what was going on. I think that this is why Gilda was not straight forward with him, telling him what he could

Besides for it being selfish, the more i think about it i believe that Gilda did it out of love. She had developed an intimate relationship with Julius, one that i do not fully understand involving the dream that she put into his head. But i think that Gilda realized that she was once like Julius. She had no family and nowhere to go until the original Gilda an Bird took her in. I think Gilda believed it was the right thing to do to Julius because she used to be just like him, and now she is happy.
