The Vampire Diaries is the most successful vampire show ever made and is still hitting the charts. It is an American supernatural teen drama television series developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, based on the popular book series of the same name written by L. J. Smith. There are total 8 seasons and trust me the level of the show rises above with each season. Damon Salvatore and Stefan Salvatore are two lead characters, brothers by relation. A special round of applause for the writers to develop their brother bond so perfectly and sensitively, they fight, they kill, fall in love with the same girl but still they have each other’s back. If you are a TVD fan, I’m sure you’re also somewhere confused between these two brothers.
What’s It About: The story is set in a fictional city named Mystic Falls. There lives a girl named Elena Gilbert, she just lost her parents in an accident. She was in pain and grief when she met Stefan Salvatore, a 162- years old vampire. They met, fall in love, explore and then the show takes a turn, when Damon Salvatore comes in their life. The big brother who’s only intention is to screw Stefan’s life. Then how things unfolds, how Damon and Elena catch feelings for each other, how the brothers re-unite is the base-line of the vampire diaries.
Damon Salvatore – The cruel, arrogant and impulsive Brother
Again we a need to give credits to the casting director to cast this man IAN Somerhalder as Damon. He is scary yet charming, cruel yet witty, angry yet caring and unapologetically hot .His character seems a little imbalance, every emotions is a too bit. When the story unfolds later in the show, we all can justify his action. Damon was broken, unloved, betrayed and lonely. He was forced to live a life he didn’t wanted because of Stefan. He tries to hide behind his badass attitude until he falls in love with Elena.
Stefan Salvatore – loyal, noble, brooding and self-righteous Brother
Paul Wesley as Stefan Salvatore will win your heart. He is guy we all want in our life. He is compassionate, loyal, loving, respectful and what not. Even after turning into a vampire and living with it for hundreds of years he still have empathy and care for humans and their life. But as the show goes on they show us the darker side of him too, but he attempts his best not be on that side of the coin.
So, it is very hard to choose between these two amazingly written characters. Stefan seems to be a better man but Damon is no less! Who’s your favorite?
