Camera Shot Of True Blood & An Article By Caitlin Brown

Like Buffy, the main character named Sookie in True Blood is rather powerful, although not as powerful as Buffy, as her only ability is to read people's minds. Sookie manages to save her boyfriend Bill at one point, which portrays her as being a heroine. However, the image below shows Sookie's vulnerability like Elena, as here, Sookie has been hurt:

This shows that unlike Buffy, Sookie is not completely self reliant - she needs to rely on other people to some extent. Sookie can at times be too brave, landing herself in danger.

Feminism and the vampire novel

In this article, Brown states that in True Blood, Sookies becomes "increasingly assertive in achieving the fulfilment" of her "sexual desires", which represents Sookie as being rather sexually confident, although Brown also states that "the fantasy of submission to the vamp lover is fulfilled", meaning that Sookie gives in to her vampire boyfriend in terms of sex. This portrays Sookie as being a sexual object, which has given me another idea for my production, as I could take a shot which includes vulnerablity, and sexuality.
