I watched Underworld Blood Wars last night which has a curious twist of vampires vs lycans (werewolves). This is the 5th instalment, the first coming out in 2003 of which I was enthused by at the time.
Selene (Kate Beckinsale), the lead vampire in the film is a rare one because daylight does not kill her. I suppose you could say that being exposed to love/light does not depolarize her, so she represents a vampire with ethics, an sto vamp. She drinks cloned blood rather than feeding off of humans for example. I think archetypically she, as all hero characters, represents the Matrix. The hero sets their intention, focuses their will and through great, trial succeeds. I think the villains represented by the lycans portray the Catalyst that is ignored or repressed by the Matrix. Literally turning into a beast when love/light (truth) is reflected (by a full moon), signifies to me a lack of self knowledge or processing efficiency. However, the lead lycans in the story can turn into werewolves at will irrespective of there being a full moon or not, so they have an awareness of what drives them and how to direct it. They are the adept on the left hand path that have all other lycans submitting to their will, which in turn have an adept chief. The big bad lycan!
