Buffy Article

I found the article “High School is Hell” to be very insightful. I personally found it amazing how deep Buffy the Vampire Slayer actually is. I have never watched the show before, but after reading this article, I think that it will probably be the scifi show that I choose to watch tonight. I think that this article was interesting because it not only talked about the use of metaphor in the show, but gave specific examples. It is truly incredible how through the use of metaphors one can make the unreal seem even more realistic than real life is. I am personally a huge fan of finding the irony in situations, and after reading this article, it seems that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is full of irony. I am very excited to begin watching this television show for myself.
