About the Show

After her parents tragic death, Elena Gilbert is living in Mystic Falls with her Aunt, Jenna, and brother, Jeremy. Going back to high school is tough for young Elena, but she decides to push through her hard times. On her first day back, she meets a mysterious and very attractive Stefan Salvator. Intrigued by his dark past, Elena tries to get closer to Stefan. But as she gets deeper into his life, she realizes that Stefan isn’t even human- he is a vampire. He also has a brother, Damon, who is bent on getting revenge on Stefan- and on getting Elena for himself.

All three seasons has been about Elena coping with growing up into adulthood with having vampires in her life.

The Writing

Founder's Day

The Vampire Diaries authors have surprised us with their skill in writing a storyboard. Not only do we feel for Elena and Stefan, but we feel for the villain, Damon (who later turns to the good side). This show and the characters in it cross the border of good and evil many times. But it is done in such a way that the views are still rooting for the villains. When they cry, you can’t help but feel for them and sympathize with what they are going through- loss and heartbreak.

Overall Analysis
