short descriptions of the main characters in vampire diaries part 2
He is around 150 years old, but he looks like a 17 year old normal boy, except from the fact that he isn’t. Or, he is normal in some ways, and not normal in some ways. He looks just like a normal guy, okay, he’s really hot (if the describing of him in the books have made him justice), he speaks like a normal person, and he acts like a normal person. But apart from that, he is dangerous, he hears people's thoughts, he drinks blood (but Stefan is a nice guy, so he only drinks from animals.), he doesn’t get older, he has special Powers that can be used on humans, he is incredibly strong (but only if he drinks human blood, which he doesn’t), and least but not last, he is a vampire.
Apart from that, he’s a complex person as well. He’s suffering from the great loss of his life, his big love Katherine, who died when she tried to get Stefan and his brother Damon to stop fighting with each other. When he meets Elena for the first time at school, he sees that she looks exactly like Katherine, and from that moment, he hates her, just because she looks like her. After reading a couple of chapters, I also realise that it’s not just the look of Elena that he kind of hates. The way she smells, the way she talks, her thoughts, everything reminds him of Katherine. And every time he looks at Elena, or hears her thoughts, he gets reminded of Katherine, which of course is painful for him. He doesn’t let anybody in, barely talks to anyone. The only persons he talks to, are Matt, Elena’s ex-boyfriend, and Caroline, a girl that means nothing to him, and because of that he can’t hurt her the way he can hurt Elena. Looking closer into Stefan’s mind, you can see that he’s kind of miserable, and doesn’t know where he belongs; he doesn’t feel any belonging to anyone.
I never really understood the whole vampire obsession that has spread throughout the world ever since the Twilight books came out (note the fact that I'm not using any adjectives to describe its either good or bad sides).
Even though I've never really took the time to dwell on this kind of literature, I believe that what you've written here, the whole Stefan Salvatore analysis is a good enough incentive to seriously get down to finding that book and giving it a proper read.
Also, the name of the other character that you've described, Elena, is exactly like mine so there we go, another reason.
I like the fact that you've spent quite a lot of time analysing the psychological structure of the characters' minds, because after all that is the only part that remains into a reader's mind.
