I loved this article by Dvora Meyers comparing the end of Buffy to the experience of many orthodox Jewish women. Never having seen the show, Ill take Dvora on her word, but she makes a compelling case. The superficial comparisons are great but the more insightful stuff in the article is excellent. Here is a taste: In the series finale, Buffy, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, thinks completely outside of the box. “Why?” she asks. “In every generation a slayer is born. Why? Because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule,” she says, addressing a bunch of young girls who are part of the Slayer line, waiting to take up Buffy’s powers, which will be passed on only when Buffy dies.
