a whole new fantasy species. The traits and characteristics that Stoker gave to vampires, which were not well defined before him, have become so iconic that straying away from them has become the “creative twist.” However, these ideas, which are taken for granted now, were not simply ideas that Stoker came up with on his own, but came from the adaptation of old ideas…

compares a werewolf, vampire, and monster to a teenager who is depressed. Throughout this poem, Taken consistently uses a metaphor to describe the girl as a werewolf, a vampire, or a monster.
