Conclusion
The previous analyses have described the similarities and differences between males and females from the Victorian Era to the Modern Age. I have examined both the gender roles and the sexual characteristics that are attributed to each gender separately. As I have shown, some of these roles and characteristics have remained true throughout the decades and can still be seen in people today and are depicted in the media. Others, however, have faded into the past and are viewed only as pieces of history.
I hope I didn't ruin any of the story lines for anyone who hasn't seen them yet. And please understand that The Vampire Diaries is an ongoing television series and, as such, the characters are constantly evolving. Because of this inevitable development, the characteristics described in this paper may not be wholly functional in the future.
