Textual Evidence for Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries

In the below snapsnot selected from Episode 2, it can be seen that the Vampire Damon is attacking Caroline, which shows that Caroline is clearly a victim in this scene. Later on in the series, Damon also continues to use her in order to satisfy his needs for drinking a sufficient amount of blood. This shows that to some extent, the series portrays women as objects who are often used, and attacked. However, later on in the series Caroline turns into a vampire, and attacks Damon, which shows that in some respects, the women in the series are sometimes portrayed as being rather dominant powerful.
