From the beginning of chapter 1 to the end of chapter 2 it is obvious that the character of Gilda has changed immensely. In the first chapter she was just a young girl caught up with the ways of her life in which she did not choose. On her way from the plantation life to freedom she was forced to kill the man that was raping her. This quiet young girl at first was just trying to get by because she wasn't anything special and to be honest the girl fought hard to get and keep her freedom. Her spunk and attitude got her through what may have seemed like the hardest part of her life.
The youngest girl was transformed from a quiet human to an independent and very Strong vampire. This new Gilda was strong and she certainly was not a slave anymore. A question was brought in class, now that Gilda had changed was she considered good or evil. I thought that it was a very interesting question because in the first chapter she had no choice but to kill a man and now in the second chapter she had the choice to either kill another man or let him live. It is not Gilda's fault that she needs to feed off of humans to live but I think it is very clear that she is good because she chose to let Samuel to keep his life.
