Lilith

In class, we talked about Lilith and how she is a theory of the woman who came before Eve. It is said that she was untamed and for lack of better words, not what a woman should be.  Recently, the name Lilith is known to be the vampire Queen, per say, in the hit series True Blood on HBO.  In the show, Lilith embodies the same attributes that Lilith would if the theory is correct.  She is exactly the kind of woman that creates chaos and disorder.  Using her persuasions, Lilith turns the characters in the show on each other and causes them to kill one another in order to become the "one true ruler" of all vampires.  She also convinces the "vampire rulers" that humans are merely a source of food like cattle to carnivores.  Lilith from Genesis was very likely the root for the character on True Blood which is why they seem to have much in common.  The clip from the show below may be inappropriate to some, so do not watch if you think it could be.  You have been forewarned.
