For a lot of people they are just scary and pale monsters but are they just monsters or just attractive or are they human beings? They are a combination of both; they are scary when they kill with cold blood after they are done with the victim but they look and have human characteristics. The general idea of the attractiveness of vampires portrays in nearly all of the vampire movies, in either male or female vampires. In the early days movie’s females where the main focus of attractiveness as showed in Dracula, while nowadays the main focus of attractiveness is the male as showed in “Interview with the vampire”. That shows that the general idea toward vampires have changed over the time. Also in the earlier vampire movies male vampires are more than the female ones. Vampires differ from each other they behave differently; some of them have more human characteristics then the other. Vampires are attractive and that is commonly known all around the world Dracula, Brad Pitt and Robert Pattinson are all attractive in the movies. Why are they attractive? They have a white pale skin, strong physique, are very fast and stronger than normal which makes them a desire for ladies, which is why their victims are attracted to them. Vampires are indeed considered plain evil because of their mass killing of people in search for blood. In her article Kathleen Rout, Who Do You Love? Anne Rice's Vampires And Their Moral Transition says “as described in the interview and as seen in the vampire Lestat. He kills any and all types of people, and as a generous act he puts the poor out if their misery.” Rout argument is about why is Lestat killing and it is shown in the movie that he is killing based on a combination of fun and survival instinct, for him to survive he have to kill because killing means earing the only thing he can consume blood. But also he sometimes enjoy his killing a bit too much, he rapes and sometimes tortures his victims. When we were kids we had a rush breaking the rules or doing wrong things, like stealing a can of Coke or candy. So in another meaning, vampires get the same rush when they kill, either for fun or for their need for drinking blood. When they kill and rape people watching enjoy but when a real killer kills, people flip and start wondering why he did all of these bad things. And in this we see the morality behind vampires and what social beliefs people have towards them, they believe that vampires have their justification to kill because they are in need for blood but when a serial killer kill who is insane and have crazy claims about why he is killing, people aren’t acceptable of his reasons (Rout). According to Kerry Kutzuba in her article “Lestat, C'est Moi": Anne Rice's Revelation of Self rough e Vampire Chronicles. “Rice's vampires are often selected for their physical attractive.
