Analysis Of Colonel Alarik Kratz's Vampire Lady

Decent Essays
Sara Kirkpatrick takes a job on a planet most people call Hell never realizing that she would find far more than a brand new shale formation there. She never dreamed she would find a man she would be able to call her own, forever.

Colonel Alarik Kratz has a run in with a Syndicate vessel which causes his ship to land, less than gracefully, on the very planet that Sarah is stationed on.

If the crash wasn't enough a storm comes out of no-where and Alarik has to choose between limping back into space with his ship and crew or staying with this enigmatic human woman, his beast chooses the woman.

A misunderstanding of the biggest nature causes him to not only claim her, but also changing her into his Vampire Lady.

However once they leave

    In Bram Stoker’s, Dracula, we see the New Woman first being introduced to the reader by the three women that Jonathan Harken encounters in Count Dracula’s castle. Mina and Lucy are a representation of the good, traditional Victorian women in comparison to those three women. In her article "Bram Stoker 's Dracula and Late-Victorian Advertising Tactics: Earnest Men, Virtuous Ladies, and Porn", Tanya Pikula argues that “Dracula not only functions as a ‘kind of ‘test-bed’ for competing arguments and sensibilities,’ but it reflects the ways in which its society’s ambivalent responses to consumerism and advertising were repeatedly elaborated through models of femininity and female sexuality”. I strongly disagree with because I do no think that the…

    Throughout the stories of “The Monkey” by Stephen King and Dracula by Bram Stoker it is seen how there is an element of the uncanny at work.
