The Vampire Diaries is not just about the supernatural nor is it just about a love triangle between two brothers and a girl from Mystic Falls. The Vampire Diaries is more than what meets the eye. It is quite difficult to describe The Vampire Diaries, so to put it simply, it is about love and death. The three main protagonists: Elena, Stefan, and Damon Salvatore experienced suffering and hardship throughout their lives. They were able to cope with their issues by building bonds that would last an eternity, helping them fight any obstacle that tried to overcome them. Elena, Stefan, and Damon would sacrifice to protect their friends and each other, and that idea alone brought fear upon their enemies.
