    Believing that all vampires are evil, Dracula is introduced as very politely, with manners, leaving the readers confused with whether he is a vampire or human being. “Once Harker began his adventure, Count writes him a letter that directed John to the Golden Krone Hotel, which was an old-fashioned hotel and he also received a letter directing him to secure the best place on the coach” (Stoker 31-32).

    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”.
