After reading the last chapters of, The Gilda Stories, it is clear that the main character Gilda has changed and grown as a vampire. After much discussion and contemplation, we finally can see that Gilda is a good person at the end of the story. Throughout the novel, Gomez was testing our faith in Gilda. She had Gilda killing humans, such as the one person who attacked her in the beginning of the novel, and killing Sorel after Elenore's encouragement.
However at the end of the novel, we can clearly see that Gilda is a good vampire, with a good heart. Although she has killed humans and turned them into vampires, she tried to help them with the problems in their lives. For example, Julius was a lonely person who was unhappy with his life and very depressed. Gilda helped him by taking him in and turning him into a vampire, making him one of her family members. Also, Gilda saved Effie by turning her into a vampire and talking her out of committing suicide.
