Robert doesn’t hide, which she urges him to do, and ends up killing himself by using a pill given by Ruth, before the vampires are able to kill him. They are trying to eliminate both the remaining humans and vampires. He finds a letter when he wakes up where she has explained that there are vampires that are fighting the plague. He does this by checking both garlic and sunlight on her, but when he says he wants to check her blood, she hits him unconscious and runs away. His hopes of restarting the human race again is heightened, but he wishes to make sure she is human. Ruth, the woman he catches, acts as human as he does. He manages to catch her even though she tries running away from him. One day, the routine is broken as he sees a woman walking in daylight. Robert also remembers that a preacher has said that the plague was punishment for all human sins, and Robert finds out that the cross does, in fact, repel vampires.Īfter a while, Robert gets used to the life of a vampire hunter, and he even enjoys it as it becomes a routine. When she did come back, he had to kill her once more. When she died, Robert was filled with too much grief to burn his wife, which was the only way to ensure she doesn’t rise from the dead as a vampire. We learn about Robert’s wife, Virginia, during the time she caught the plague. The dog is later killed by the vampires, leaving Robert even more lonely than he initially was. During one of the days Robert is researching, he meets a live dog who becomes his new best friend. He also reads books about classic vampires such as Dracula. While Neville tries finding a cure and learn more about vampires in general, he experiments and looks at the inactive bodies of vampires and sees how they react to different components, such as garlic and sunlight. In his free time, Robert listens to loud music and drinks himself filthy.
He also fights to stay alive as vampires try breaking and attacking his house every night. During the beginning of the book, Robert constantly tries finding a cure or a way to reverse the effects of the plague. The aftereffects of a nuclear war mutated the human gene and made them what Robert calls “vampires”, dead creatures that inhabit the human body, attack at night and are allergic to garlic.
I Am Legend follows the only human left on earth: Robert Neville.
