Ashlyn Zgoda Post 2

From the progression for chapter 1 to chapter 2, the new Gilda's character developed immensely. We see her come into herself as a person, going from a child running from slavery to a vampire woman. In class the question that was raised about her character was is Gilda good or evil. Most of the class seemed to agree on the fact that she was kind of neutral, neither good nor evil.

Though in my opinion I think Gilda is good for what she is, a vampire. In chapter 2 we can see the comparison of Gilda to Eleanor, who was evil. Eleanor did things only for her own benefit, and fed off of others fear and discomfort. She enjoyed messing with others, and masked this with a fake innocent exterior. I think one part of which makes Gilda good is that, even though she was warned by many people, she still gave Eleanor the benefit of the doubt and made her own decisions on wether she was deceiving her or not.

Another thing that I believe makes Gilda good is that she still feels happiness and joy. She has love for others than herself, unlike Eleanor. And also, even when she is doing something seen as wrong which is taking blood from others without permission, she still tries to make the experience more pleasurable for them even though she does not have to.
