Call me a skeptic, but I don't really think mankind can entirely overcome what is evil and bad about him by his own effort.

It was definitely her own created world, but had the feeling of the Biblical era to me.<br /><br />The interesting thing about the Twilight books is that the vampire, Edward, is fighting his own evil nature. He was turned a vampire against his will and has joined a group of vampires dedicated to not hurting people, but there are evil vampires in the book as well. From that perspective it contains an positive message that we can choose to overcome our own evil natures.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374698605171910389.post-48092043896053738482014-09-04T03:45:26.066-04:002014-09-04T03:45:26.066-04:00Heard of Larson's books, but interesting that ...Heard of Larson's books, but interesting that you should say they were set in the Biblical times- as on the cover of, I think the third title, the model's costume looked decidedly 15th century- AD that is. <br />Never personally had any remote interest in the Vampire/Twilight craze at all. It intriguing though that it seems to have made all things vampirish look good, sexy and attractive, when the the past, such things were firmly considered evil (vampires were thought to be murderers or the such who had died unshriven). Morbid, I know. English Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806974885775295349noreply@blogger.com
