While vampires can certainly be cruel and malicious, Vampire Knight includes several scenes that demonstrate the kindness within them as well. In fact, vampires can be surprisingly human at times. For so many, those moments are the reason these dark creatures are so alluring. The capability to care so deeply and love so passionately is part of the vampire condition. Vampire Knight does a spectacular job building upon those elements to create a world in which vampires are both vicious and kind.
