Could you tell me what Is a Shiksa?

English

Sedbober [7]2 years ago

Yes, I could. You came to the right place.  And even though you didn't actually
ask for the meaning of the word, I'll go on and tell you anyway:

"Shiksa" is a Yiddish word, that came via a long and tortuous route
from a Biblical Hebrew word that means something very different from
the way it's used.

The way it's used, it means a young lady who's not Jewish, typically
in connection with a Jewish guy who is either considering dating or
even considering marrying a young lady who is not Jewish.

If the word is in any way pejorative, its implications are never directed  
against the young lady, but rather against the guy, since marrying within
the faith is a very strong tradition and value within any Jewish community.

Some examples of literature that relates to the vampire motif as explained in Foster's, "How to Read Literature Like a Professor" are:

  • “Good Lady Ducayne” (1896)
  • The Vampyre (1819).

<h3>What is a Vampire Motif?</h3>

Vampire motif is simply another word for Vampire Theme. When a story is set against a background of Vampire (which usually is associated with Gothic Literature or stories) such a story is said to have a Vampire Motif.

It is to be noted that after originally appearing in poetry from the 18th century, the literary vampire later made an appearance in gothic literature with the publishing of Polidori's The Vampyre (1819), which was based on the life and mythology of Lord Byron.
