During one of our class discussions we compared a list of characteristics shared by stereotypical vampires vs. the characteristics of Gilda. The two had many similarities, as well as many differences. One of the differences was characterizing Gilda as good and other vampires as evil. This was primarily because she showed consideration towards others and in some circumstances, actually tried to be helpful.
In Chapter 2 once the new Gilda has taken over, it seems as if she is trying to follow in the same path as the Gilda that came before her. For example, when Gilda has the opportunity to kill Samuel she declines and it is very likely that she makes this decision because the first Gilda did not kill a lot. For this reason I feel as if both Gilda's are good compared to other vampires. However, this doesn't exactly make her good because she still kills and as" vampire ways". She is only good by comparison.
