I decided to watch the fourth episode of the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Inca Mummy Girl” again. I decided to choose this episode because the behavior of Empada. I thought that her attitude was interesting because in her mind, she was just trying to live a normal life. I don’t believe that she would have sucked the life out of anybody if she did not have to in order to survive. I do not think that it was right for Empada to kill other people for her to survive, but I do understand why this would be a very difficult decision for her to make. I believe that many people may make the same decision that Empada made in order to survive.
Two scenes that I thought were very important during the show were when Empada was telling Buffy that she wanted to live a normal life, and when Empada was about to suck the life out of Willow and Xander stepped in and told her that she would have to suck the life out of him if she wanted to kill anybody.
In the first scene I understood that Empada just wanted to live a normal problem free life. Just like most people do. Buffy also understood the pain that Empada was going through. Although Empada did not know that Buffy lived an abnormal life, Buffy understood her ever word.
The second scene where Empada had a choice to kill for her survival or to sacrifice her life in order to save the lives of many others posed a difficult question for Empada, and the viewer. Since Empada was in love, was it wrong for her to want to survive and be happy with Xander? Personally I do not think her final decision to kill for her survival was the correct one, but I do understand her reasoning for choosing to survive.
