Abstract

In this article the author continues the research of basic elements of the notion “religious mythology”. This refers to the “monads”, which are culture heroes and the origins of their popularity among youth subcultures. Is religious fantasy really a modern fairytale for adults? Do infernal heroes start young people thinking about the bottom line of their life? The author of this article tackles these and many other important issues through hermeneutic analysis of S. Meyer’s “Twilight” and “The Vampire Diaries” by L.J. Smith
