I plan to use the twilight saga to help demonstrate my thesis about desire. I also plan on using this saga to demonstrate the historical differences of vampires. Twilight is about the desire of love. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are the perfect examples of those who are in true love. This is the modern vampire desire. This has changed from centuries because way back vampires were viewed as horrid and demonic. I want to make sure that I am able to find a valid example to prove my thesis.
Milton, John, and Philip Pullman. Paradise Lost. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2005. Print.
I want to use this book to demonstrate the historical period in which vampires were first thought to evolve and why. This sort of differentiates the historical time periods from which this book is referring to versus the modern times. I feel that it is important to do a little research on the thought process of earlier times, rather than just referring to the modern day vampire. This book has a couple great quotes about the evil spirits from Eastern Europe at the time, and how they correlate.

I want to kind of skim through this book a little that I found in the library. It helps me determine the historical relevance of vampires, and what they are caused from. It also talks a little about their appearance. I want to be able to find out what may have created the evil spirits and vampires to have evolved and cause problems in the folklores, and how people formulated the concept that the murders were being caused by vampires. I feel that an encyclopedia is always a good source if research when doing a paper or report.
