My idea for the final paper is talking about the different aspects of the vampire effect. I will also watch the movie "Dracula" and try to incorporate the movie into my paper as well. I want to mention how the vampire effect can go both ways, and both the social people and the shy people can end up on either side of the light and dark.

Besides reading Bram Stoker's Dracula or seeing the film (especially Francis Ford Coppola's rather faithful 1992 version), you can also read criticism of the work and its many vampire spawn. Two interesting examples that came up on a quick search of the library catalog:
ReplyDeleteMarxferatu: The Vampire Metaphor as a Tool for Teaching Marx's Critique of Capitalism by Jason J. Morrissette
Monsters and Mortgages by Garry Leonard
It would give you an interesting starting point. You might also look at things that have been written about "rentier capitalism" or what Joseph Stiglitz simply calls "rent-seeking behavior" (where the rich get richer by "renting" their money to the poor, such as indebted college students):

You should also start by looking more closely at Paying for the Party and their discussion of the effect. How does it work exactly?
Also: you should give your posts individual titles.
