The Beatitudes in Vampire Diaries by Caroline Colins https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6 en-us 2020-11-04 14:55:38 UTC 2025-11-01 03:54:39 UTC hello@padlet.com Bonnie is "the poor in spirit" because she recognizes her dependence on her Grams and ancestors because she is a witch. She depends on her ancestors to help her grow in her powers. This is the same thing for Christians, but they rely on God instead of witches. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/898510548 2020-11-06 17:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/898510548 Damon is "those who mourn" because he in my opinion is the one who goes through the roughest times. He is abused by his father, his brother dies, the love of his life is in a coma for a long period of time, his mother does not love him, etc. He has to get through so much and relies so much on peace "after life" even though he does not think he will end up there. He is like the one who mourns because those who morn continue to follow God and have faith in him. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/898536527 2020-11-06 17:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/898536527 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902421404 2020-11-09 00:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902421404 Matt is "the meek" because he is very slow tempered. He restrains from getting mad when someone is getting him angry. He also does not get discouraged easily either. He is also not quiet or timid like "the meek's" biggest misconception. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902425655 2020-11-09 00:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902425655 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902428252 2020-11-09 00:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902428252 Klaus is "those who hunger and thirst for righteousness" because he lives rightly according to himself. This is kind of a stretch because "those who thirst and hunger for righteousness" do this according to God. However, he does not believe in God and has such a big ego that he thinks he is Him so that is why he yearns to do everything right according to himself. He likes to make sure that he is first in everyone's mind and hearts rather than God. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902428882 2020-11-09 00:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902428882 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902430715 2020-11-09 00:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902430715 Alaric is "the merciful" because he is very patient and understanding. He forgives very easily unless it has to do with Kai Parker. when he forgives, he genuinely forgives the person and doesn't hold a grudge. He also does not judge others for their wrong doing and is very generous. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902431420 2020-11-09 00:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902431420 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902432910 2020-11-09 00:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902432910 Caroline is "the pure in heart" because she has the purest heart. She is very selfless and and does not have any ulterior motives against anyone. She grows to be the most genuine character on the show and carries her self with integrity. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902433401 2020-11-09 00:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902433401 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902434487 2020-11-09 00:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902434487 Stefan is "the peacemaker" because when he has his humanity turned on, he is always trying to make peace with everyone. He is constantly trying to create peace with his brother, friends, and the enemies so that everything can go back to normal. The only thing that he is missing is him sharing the Gospel with others to let them have inner peace like "the peacemakers" do. collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902434999 2020-11-09 00:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902434999 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902437037 2020-11-09 00:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902437037 Elena is "those who ae persecuted for righteousness sake" because she was daring to live her life with vampires in public even though she would be put down by other vampires and people who knew that they were vampires. She was always slandered for like vampires. She is the main character and target of the show. If I were to replace vampires with God and her being Christian, than she would be a perfect example of "those who ae persecuted for righteousness sake". collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902438772 2020-11-09 00:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902438772 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902440979 2020-11-09 00:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902440979 collinc30668 https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902447721 2020-11-09 00:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/collinc30668/x4m91sy46546bgd6/wish/902447721
