Zombies vs Vampires

Reading this article was very enjoyable for me. I love exploring human emotions rather physical, so when this article introduced the idea of zombies and vampires representing different human aspects, I was all for it. Firstly, I never thought to compare vampires and zombies and the different things they portray to the world. But I noticed, it would be quite easy to spot if I was looking at it from that perspective. When watching a vampire movie, they really are perfect. They don’t age, they have long lives and their faces never change, the zombie however, changes drastically. You almost cannot recognize anything human about them. I thought it was interesting how they used the idea that a zombie shows us the “horror of our bodies” the way we can change into something so inhuman is a pretty scary thought, and the zombie embodies that. Secondly, it really made me understand the walking dead comic much more. It’s hard to see the human side that Robert says he is trying to explore in the intro of the comic. But reading this made that so much more plausible, and the story of the comic that much more complex. The inside of a zombie is so much more interesting than the outside!
