Could there be differentiations in 'knighthood' between vampire sects/philosophies.
We've seen depictions of 'anti-hero' and 'villain' vampires in pop-culture (e.g., Blade, Interview with the Vampire), so this question is definitely in 'mainstream discourse.'
Is a 'good' vampire more 'patriotic' than a relatively more 'evil' vampire (who may be more of an 'anarchist')?
I've always identified with the vampire Louis, from Interview with the Vampire (Anne Rice novel adaptation), since he's brooding while also being morally 'anxious.'
I also like the characterization of the character Alucard, son of Dracula (from Castlevania).
The civilized world seems to demand our 'evaluation' of vampirism be somewhat...erudite.
How would you knight a vampire and would you differentiate between 'schools of vampire-knights'?
====
LOUIS: We're not cannibals Lestat.
LESTAT: No, a cannibal eats flesh for barbecue; we're refined, Louis.
LOUIS: Well, we consumer human blood, Lestat!
LESTAT: Sure, but our goals are loftier...more philosophical.
LOUIS: Sometimes I wonder about the cannibalism of the Aztecs of Mexico.
LESTAT: That is the ancient world, Louis; New Orleans is the 'new world.'
LOUIS: I think you're confusing 'refinement' with 'worldliness.'
LESTAT: Not true; cannibals are non-selective; we have more purpose.
LOUIS: Are you suggesting vampire anarchy is more 'intentional.'
LESTAT: It's surely less grotesque...
