dc.description.abstractVampire literature, like any form of literature, can both perpetuate and challenge stereotypes related to marginalized communities. How literature is interpreted can depend upon the specific text, the author's intentions, and the context in which the story is told. The perpetuation of stereotypes can also contribute to institutionalized discrimination and cultural traditions that further marginalize certain groups (Hilton and von Hippel). While the intent of vampire literature may not be to reinforce stereotypes, there are instances where certain works have contributed to such perpetuation. Therefore, it is important to decontextualize content in order to facilitate discourse that uncovers diverse interpretations.
