Spike, the spark shining in the night

Spike means spike and piercing. As a vampire who will die from piercing the heart with a wooden nail, it is ironic to have a name. Of course, he also has another title: William "the Bloody"-bloody William (this always reminds me of Bloody Mary ==|||)
Speaking of which, my favorite character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not the protagonist, but two non-human beings, the vampire Spike and the devil Anaya, because these two survive There are too many stories for characters that have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.
Spike was a very rock-crazy vampire when he first appeared on the scene. He was with another vampire queen who was also crazy. He was once one of Buffy’s biggest enemies, but like all villains, he lost in the battle with Buffy. , And her lover no longer loves him, so he returned to the town where Buffy was, and hoped and relied on the charm to find love, but in the end he was accidentally caught by the military and planted a piece Chip finally became unable to attack humans anymore, and then he fought with Buffy and the others until the end.
As the story progresses, Spike’s story gradually unfolds in front of us. His identity is no longer just a rock vampire. We know that he has killed two vampire hunters in his relatively short life span. , And he is now in love with Buffy. We also know that before he became a vampire, he was a shy, poorly written poetry, and no one likes anyone except his own mother. We also know this Oedipus After becoming a vampire, the guy turned his mother into a vampire. After that, he couldn't bear that his beloved mother became a devil and killed her by himself. This became a reason for his madness. A man with such a story Vampires are far more interesting than other people in the play, including Angel, another vampire lover of Buffy.
And after knowing all this, we can finally understand Spike, how powerful and fragile he is.
Before he became a vampire, he was such a weak child, stammering, only knowing that he was holding a notebook and writing crappy poems to his loved ones, and she finally rejected him mercilessly. The only person who can give him love and comfort is his mother, maybe this is why he is so domineering after becoming a vampire, because he has lived enough days of being despised.
But even so, he is still a little boy, a little boy of Oedipus, and because of this he turned his mother into a vampire, hoping to live with his mother forever, but also because he loves so much. His mother was gone, so he couldn't bear the incarnation of the devil who was originally beloved, and killed her.
Although vampires will lose their souls, their personality will still be preserved, so behind that mighty body, under that vampire's immortal body, the shy boy still exists.
And he fell in love with Buffy, a person he shouldn’t love. For a long time he didn’t even notice it. All he thought about every day was to kill Buffy, but he didn’t do anything about it. He knew his heart. After that, he was angry and helpless, just as shy as he was back then, but after he finally confessed and was rejected, he took a gun and wanted to kill Buffy, but in the end he was sitting next to Buffy for a long night.
They spent a few years like this. He was beaten all over by a god for her. He fought side by side with her. Buffy trusted him and regarded him as a comrade in arms he could rely on, but he could never walk into Buffy’s heart. Even if they share the same bed.
But after Buffy rejected him again, he left the town in anger, looking for a way to restore himself to the original bloody William, and then he could come back, face Buffy again and kill her.
However, he still loved Buffy, so in the end he did not change back to the original bloody William, but gained his own soul.
It is not a good thing for a vampire to have a soul. After so many killings and committing so many crimes, it is a relatively simple way to live without a soul. And Spike, who had a soul, fell into endless pain. Everyone in his life, every person killed was in his mind, talking to him, let him go to hell.
The next scene is my favorite scene about Spike. The conversation between him and Buffy in the church finally let Buffy know that he has a soul conversation.
"It's here, always in my heart."
"Spark."
"I want to give you what you deserve, I got it, they gave me the spark, and now all it does is burn."
"This is what you want Isn’t it!? This is what you want, isn’t it!?"
"Everyone is here now, talking, everything I do, everyone I killed, and him, the thing underneath, is here too Everyone, they told me to... go to hell."
"What a man must do, for her, in order to be her, to be that kind of man."
"She will look at him with forgiveness, and everyone will forgive , And love, he will be loved."
"So everything is fine, can we rest in peace now? Buffy, can we rest in peace?"
Spike fell on the cross, bursts of burning smoke from his body Tengqi, he just lay there, motionless.
Tears finally slipped from Buffy's face.
This is the pain of love and the curse of eternal life for vampires.
In the end Spike finally became a hero. In the final battle with the vampire army, it was not Buffy or dozens of vampire hunters who ended everything. It was him. He used his body to draw the sun down and bring all the vampires away. Turned to ashes, and finally closed the mouth of hell.
And in the end Buffy finally said "I love you."
"No, you don't love you, but thank you for saying that." He replied.
The hands of the two were held together, and flames rose from their hands.
Finally Buffy left, and Spike laughed up to the sky, turning to ashes in the sun.
Let me take off my hat and pay tribute to the scorching sparks in the dark night.
Tribute to the vampire who finally became a man.
