=> How did Christopher Moore describe stereotypes of male and female behavior?

 

Christopher Moore wrote about the two young vampires' love, which is impossible and absurd per se. The uniqueness of this fiction is that the author does not try to fulfill the readers' desires for fantastic, erotic or perpetual love of vampires like other vampire novels do. Rather, he used this unrealistic condition of the characters for highlighting stereotypes of male and female behaviors and giving some practical views on sexual interaction between them. Most women have a tendency to pursue the emotional intimacy in the relationship with a man, and as a means or result, sexual intercourse takes place So, Jody killed Tommy to achieve her goal and said, "I wanted us to be together." They were arguing about the fact that Jody turned Tommy into a vampire, which is a real issue between them. When Tommy expressed his anger and complaint about his change, she tried to draw Tommy's attention to her physical attraction to change the issue from murder to sex. For example, Jody said to Tommy, "You had sex with me while I was unconscious." Even though both sexual abuse and murder cannot be justified, she succeeded in making him step back and retaking the initiative in their tug-of-war. When Tommy completely engaged in his libido, she was relived and thought, "Great, in control once again." Because her goal is to satisfy her longing for emotional intimacy, she even thought, "If it turned out that he(Tommy) was going to be nineteen forever, she(Jody) might end up having to kill him for real." On the contrary, the very opposite process is going on in men's mind. It does not necessarily mean that men do not consider any emotional aspect in the relationship. However, for most men, the physical intimacy cannot be detached from their emotion or their love. They tend to be satisfied through physical interaction. For example, Tommy had a different plan. He worried and suspected that Jody just chose him only for convenience and run off with the old vampire who had changed Jody, and finally tried to bronze them, yet he failed. Like most men, he did not look for 'platonic love.' He easily could be happy to have sexual intercourse. While he was planning to make them statues, he wanted Jody and had sex with her dead body. He had put a cheerleader outfit on her and he had let her drink his own blood because he loved her. Unlike Jody who used physical interactions as a means, he simply wanted to interact with her physically, even in a panic. When he found his foreskin grew back, he freaked. But he said, "You are sure you don't want to give it a quick fondle?"
