Fantasy vs reality

 Vampire Diaries

         I watched the series of Vampire Dairies during my long sem 2 break and found myself so addicted to it. It is a supernatural drama series developed by  Kevin Williamson. The series takes place in Mystic Falls, Virginia, a fictional small town haunted by supernatural being.The main focus of the series is the love triangle between the protagonist Elena Gilbert(Nina Dobrev) and the vampire brothers Stefan Salvatore(Paul Weasley) and Damon Salvatore(Ian Somerhalder) . I was astonished by seeing how a person have such a strong faith in herself, so persevere and yet not easily beaten down by the challenges that she faced, but she grew stronger and stronger after every single obstacles that come in her way, her parents’ death, the truth that her boyfriend is a vampire, her best friend turns into a vampire, the death of her aunt, Stefan becomes a monstrous riper. Life always doesn’t go on the way we want it to be but we learn, we learn in progress, to be much more better and perfect, never give up as this can be the most easy thing to be done but the worst choice you can ever made.

                  I was fascinated by the love story between them. The way Elena and Stefan put each other priority all the times. Stefan sacrificed himself to safe Elena as a doppelganger. Elena is willing to sacrifice her life to Klaus so that Stefan can get his freedom again. That is the sacrifice of love that seldom happened in real life. However, that is what everyone looking for in their entire life and easily ended up with nothing, the cruelty of life. The love doesn’t apply to couples only in this series but to friendship as well, the way Bonnie helps Elena in whatever way she can. Although part of the reason her grandma died is because of her, she never blame but accept it. In real life, we hardly put others’ convenience as the very first one in life because we tend to be selfish. When we want to do something, we start thinking of the benefits it brings to us but not to others. In real life, people only lend you a helping hand when they think it doesn’t harm them at all, there are only a few that will come to the extent that they find one forget about themselves and think of you first, and only parents will do that for you. So, if you find one, cling to your friend and never let her go because he can be the rare species in this world.  

           This movie is the mixture of element of adventure and romantics and People said the storyline is so much under expectation but  I truly enjoy watching it just purely because I find so much thing, the maturity of the protagonist that I admired so much, love, and friendship that I find it hardly to achieve in real life. I am still grateful that in fantasy, such things exit and give me hope and reason to live on.
