Essay prompt: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of vampirism as they are portrayed in all three works we have considered. Do vampires experience limitations because they are undead? What does it mean to be a vampire?
Works to discuss:
Dracula by Bram Stoker (book)
What We Do in The Shadows (movie 2014)
Earl the Vampire by Sean Michael Welch (play)
Please use quotes from the text and describe details from the movie to support analysis on vampirism
I have attached a copy of Dracula and Earl the Vampire and you can find the movie by searching “what we do in the shadows movie free” on google. It is a fairly short comedy movie (1hr26min)
