Task 6

How are contemporary media texts featuring Vampires constructed to appeal to the young female audience and why might this be?

Introduction - Vampires are the story of many folklore and fantasy novels, dating all the way back to the first cult classic 1897 Dracula. It is the traits and characteristics of the vampire that makes them so enthralling, and life envious. Our fascination stems from more of an "if only it could be real" sort of fantasy rather than an actual belief in vampires which raises the theories on escapism and sexual gratifications. In today’s culture Vampires have been constructed in a way to attract the young female audience and allowing the target audience conform to the characters.
