Sympathetic
Vampire
This is also the first example of the "sympathetic
vampire," a vampire who loathes his condition but is
nonetheless a slave to it.

Book Illustration
This archetype has been
widely exemplified, notably by such characters as the
vampire Louis in Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire,
Barnabas Collins in the TV soap opera Dark Shadows and
Angel from the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
