Speaker 1 Summary

Joe argues that all vampire stories are based on absurd premises. Why are these premises absurd? Because if they were true, vampires would have almost driven their prey (humans) to extinction. Joe supports this by explaining that in vampire stories, all victims of vampires become vampires. Also, vampires are ancient and immortal. These premises imply that vampires would have replaced humans over time, meaning they would have no more prey.

Speaker 2 Summary

Maria doesn’t make an argument, instead just stating that she has encountered vampire stories where most victims of vampires die, and only a few become vampires. This conflicts with Joe’s claim that in vampire stories, all victims become vampires.
