Some words about my favorite story Sometimes I think about the fact that unfortunately we can’t explore all the wonderful pieces of world art and culture, even if we try to do our best. By the end of our life we will not have read or seen even one fourth of books and movies that are worth attention. There are so many deep, pleasurable and breathtaking stories that it’s always hard to pick one of them as a favorite. However some of them will just stay as good acquaintances forever, while others become really close friends and obtain a special meaning. One of these special stories for me is Penny Dreadful, a British-American horror drama. It’s a TV show about Victorian England and a battle against mysterious creatures. Every character is unique and has a skeleton in the cupboard, but in general the plot is devoted to one specific woman. Her name is Vanessa Yves. She is a medium and a gorgeous dame, amazing, but lonely. She did some mistakes in the past and nowadays, she tries to save her beloved friend who was carried away by the most dangerous vampire in history. But as time goes by we see that the only goal of all the world evil is Vanessa herself. She has to cope with ancient demons attacking her again and again to grab her immortal soul. Her desperate struggling and powerful personality are the main topics of all three seasons of the show. Of course in a symbolic way it’s a story about overcoming your inner demons and personal fears. Vanessa teaches us how to be yourself in spite of the fact, some people may threaten you or, on the contrary, promise their love, if you do what they want. She keeps being true under all the pressure she suffers from, and that’s way I love her so much.
