For these interested, have a look at this article  , by J R Loftis on Slayage. It examines the moral complexity of the Buffyverse and tries to analyzes it as an incoherent artwork,  meaning by this notion an artwork who contains a variety of philosophical and ethics approaches and let them conflate.

The thing that stroke me was how in season 6 her perception of the vampire was influenced by other's perception. Though one can argue that the whole anthem about  ( Read more... )
