“High School is Hell” offered an interesting perspective on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It shows how metaphors were used by the creators to show problems that are actually occurring in the real world. I have never seen an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the show sounds pretty interesting from the article; however, I think that if I were to go and watch it now knowing the metaphors would kind of ruin the series for me. I like to enjoy what I am watching, not analyze, and knowing all the metaphorical references in the show I think would kind of ruin it for me. Not to say that I don’t think that what the writers achieved with the series is not great. It is amazing how deep the show is and how it relates to how teenagers in high school actually feel. However, after reading the article I feel like I would just be analyzing the story instead of enjoying it for what it is worth.
