Blog #5: Gotta Love Buffy


I continued with Buffy the Vampire Slayer because I am really getting into the show and I think it applies to my life in some ways. The next episode I watched was “Angel” and it was a very touching episode that dealt with love.  In this episode, Buffy found out that Angel (her crush) was actually a vampire, who was unique because he has a soul and emotions. She ends up thinking that he bit her mother, when it was really a jealous girl vampire who was in love with Angel. The miscommunication, he doesn’t inform Buffy that it wasn’t him, leads Buffy to become angry and end up trying to kill him. Buffy goes to kill him and can’t because she realizes that she loves him too much.
So this episode talks about love and how it is not an easy thing. It shows us how there will always be obstacles that get in the way and it is just how you chose to deal with them. In Buffy’s case, she chose to try and kill him, but Angel ends up killing the girl vampire because he loves Buffy. Neither one of them could do what they were supposed to do because of love. We can’t help who we love and sometimes the person we love ends up being not what we expect. We learn that sometimes you have to let the things or people you love go because it is what is best for you and the other person. As much as Buffy and Angel did not want to let go, they knew they had to or else someone would get hurt. So, we know love is strong and are told how love can get you through anything, but how strong is love, really?
