The Eternity Cure-Character


     Alison Sekemoto is a vampire in the book, The Eternity Cure, which is written by Julie Kagawa. Alison is having a self vs self conflict. She lives in a world where vampires rule and control the humans as blood cattle. As Alison is a vampire herself, she refuses to become the souless that she believes vampires are. She is on the search for her sire, named Kanin, who is being held captive by a psychotic vampire who has a vendetta to make sure Kanin is dead. Alison then meets her vampire brother who promises to help Alison find Kanin as long as she helps him find a cure to rabidism (closest thing possible to zombies). Alison starts out believing she can control herself, but as the book progresses, it becomes more and more evident that Alison is struggling to stay attached to her the mundane side of herself.
     She has changed as a person over the course of the book because she has learned that not every vampire is a soulless demon that kills for pleasure. Her major conflict is that she fights the natural vampire of herself to try and constantly do the right thing. Alison tries her very best to always do what she feels in right, even when she knows she is risking her life to save others. This shows that Alison actually is good and not evil. She is one of the few vampires that wants others to be saved more than herself. Selfless, you could say.

  1. I think that you posted a interesting character analysis. Does Allison remain the same through out the entire course of the book or does she give way to her vampire self? I agree that Allison is selfless. One example from the first book is when she leaves Eden so that her human companions can make it to their safe haven. Allison protected the group even after they had threatened to kill her if they ever met again. Allison truely does deserve the title 'selfless'.
