Character Review #1 : Stefan Salvatore


At first Stefan Salvatore reminded me of Edward Cullen. After a few episodes I got over it. Stefan Salvatore is a kind-hearted good hero material. I didn’t particularly like him first but then slowly grew fond of him. He loves his brother Damon Salvatore more than anything. No matter what Damon did he always forgives him, may be because of the guilt that Stefan was the one who turned Damon into a vampire even against his will.


He isn’t always a good guy or anything, we learn that in the past he had done a lot of terrible things and all but it’s his desire to change himself to a good person and to stay good is what makes him special. He isn’t a good person because of Katherine or Elena or even Lexi. He tries to do good because he knows that is right. He tries constantly to make up for his past mistakes. Katherine did wrong both brothers, but Damon chose to do bad things and blame her for making him like that. Stefan figured out he was under compulsion and his feelings were not real and chose to move on, all on his own, not for any girl. Now that is a person with a healthy mind.



As for Elena, he always let her make her on decisions, never forced anything on her. Even when he realizes that his brother is trying to win her, he trusts her and never forbids her from interacting with his brother. He believes that if their love is true, no one can take it away from them, not even his brother.  Also, he is a very good friend to Caroline and Bonnie. When he saw the girls really misses each other he even plans a girls night for them, I can’t ever imagine Damon doing that.


Even when Elena turned to a vampire, he tries to find the cure because he knows that she hates being that and she can’t live with herself if she harmed anyone. Not because he saw her as a broken toy, not because he didn’t want her to be a vampire. The season 1 Elena used to get that. I was hurt when Elena betrayed him, not because she chose Damon over him but to see him hurting when he really didn’t do anything wrong.




I liked him when he told Elena she doesn’t know him when he isn’t in love with her. CLAPS!!! I liked that he offered to leave town if Elena chooses Damon, not to stay around and sabotage their relationship like Damon did. I liked that he expressed his hurt and anger in her betrayal not begging her to take him back. Overall he was a stand-up guy.


From season 4 onwards, I don’t think they did any justice to this character. He got pulled into the back seat while Delena took over the show. I always felt it was his story, maybe because he started the narrative on the very first episode or because he was the hero for the solid first three seasons which were the best seasons of the show.

Relationship Review #1: Stelena (Stefan and Elena)

Stelena was so beautiful and soul soothing while it lasted. It was one of the epic romances the TV history has ever seen. It was so simple and elegant. Their one glance or a touch was enough to make the audience fall in love all over again. All of their moments were so picturesque. Whenever I watch them I find myself hitting rewind again and again and again. Ignoring the whole Damon angle , they were a perfect couple. That was what I would call true love.  They were soul mates. They shared a beautiful bond, a companionate love. That’s why it didn’t make any sense when Elena encouraged Damon’s advances, when she chose him. It was hard to believe that she would fall for someone like Damon after she got to know Stefan, a creepy guy like Damon could actually break their bond.   If I find someone like Stefan, I would hold onto him forever, never let him go. Stefan came into Elena’s life, they fell in love. They had a lot in common, both were ...

Character Review #3 : Damon Salvatore

I like Damon Salvatore as the character of a story, but as a person not so much. He is interesting. A villainous character with good buried deep inside. He cares for his brother but doesn’t show it outside. Sometimes he does terrible things because others don’t have to. But sometimes he does that for fun or because he is upset. He is sarcastic and has got amazing one-lines. He is someone who loves deeply, after all he spent 145 years trying to find a way to release the woman he loved from the curse. He blames Stefan for turning him into a vampire and for their history with Katherine but forgives him ultimately. He is also heartless and cruel and ruthless. He kills people without thinking twice just because he thinks it’s fun. He abuses his mind controlling abilities to make school girls as his toys. He compels women to be his girlfriends and calls them a distraction. In the beginning he abuses Caroline and tortures her. He has little respect for women and humans al...
