Modernism Verses Postmodernism

The site below is great for understanding the differences between modernism and postmodernism and for identifying these differences in texts. This is just what students need to be able to argue for and against postmodernism. I've noticed that in "True Blood" modernist attitudes and feelings coexist with postmodern ones. In fact the modernists in "True Blood" are pretty extreme. For instance the Reverend Newland and his fundamentalist church in the first few episodes of season 1. Sookie and her Grandma are at the other extreme, in the live and let live category.

Christopher Lee as "Dracula" from 1958

The modernist conventions of "Dracula" from 1958 contrast with "True Blood's" Sookie Stackhouse rescuing Vampire Bill Compton from the "blood drainers," the Rattrays, in the TV show's pilot episode.
