Post 3

At the end of chapter three we see the real problems that Gilda is facing as a vampire and the first signs of her being scared about the rest of her life as a vampire. She finally had to tell someone what she is going through, and this letter shows the human side of Gilda and how she has feelings and emotions too. In the next chapter we see the scene with her and Bird, almost like a sex scene between the two. This passage shows the intimacy between Gilda and Bird and how strong the relationship really is.

I thought this was interesting how Gilda expresses the human side of her life when writing the letter to Aurelia and then in chapter four how the scene with Bird shows a sort of human side of Gilda as well. Although they are vampires they need some sort of affection to survive just like humans and their way of doing that is to suck each others blood. Some people were saying how this is weird because of Bird and Gilda's relationship as a mother and daughter or student and teacher but either way it just shows that they both love each other.
