    1.) Renfield is characterized as a mental patient in Seward’s mental asylum who has a desire to gain the "life-force" of flies, birds, and cats by consuming them. While the character of Renfield may be considered seemingly irrelevant and extraneous to the central plot of Dracula, he functions as a rather important role, providing insight to multiple central motifs in the novel, such as invasion and blood. Firstly, through Renfield’s inner struggle we learn that he is “not his own master” (Stoker, 211).

Although many literary critics have commented on the implied homosexuality of these three men within this novel, it is through Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s interpretation of homosociality that another idea has emerged.…

    Bram Stoker’s Critique of Victorian Gender Norms and An Unconventional Pathway for Victorian Women to Advantage Their Social Standing The novel “Dracula” written by Bram Stoker appears on the surface to be a traditional 19th century gothic text, but after closer examination, Stoker’s novel develops into a glass shattering feminist novel embedded with ideas about gender norms.

Additionally, by incorporating vampirism, Stoker is able to present the feminine qualities that Victorian women should and should not peruse to improve their societal standing.…

    Thus, the New Women came into view. They were ready to fight for their voice to be heard, partake in social life, and manifest their right for self-actualization. It is no wonder that, after many centuries of shaping and maintaining certain convenient gender roles, society refused to accept the new image of a strong independent woman. This particular anxiety and rejection of the New Women by Victorian men is reflected in “Dracula” by means of demonizing and vulgarizing them. One of the ways Stoker depicts the rejection and, in a way, fear of the New Women, is contrasting them to the conventional noble female characters.…

    A Catholic man, Van Helsing personally views Count Dracula as not only a threat to western Europe, but as a threat to his religion and what he views as morally right. Even the Count’s act of drinking blood perverses the Christian ritual of communion; moreover, his appearance rivals that of Satan with flaming red eyes and fanged teeth. As such, Van Helsing becomes determined to rid the world of Dracula’s influence by enlisting the help of the others, and by establishing himself as the figurehead of the group due in part to his superior knowledge, Van Helsing encaptures their devotion to the cause. As his namesake, Abraham, was the patriarch of the Israelites, Abraham Van Helsing is the self-established leader of the vampire hunters, and he provides the others with moral inspiration to defeat the vampiric reign of terror. By the end of the novel, the other characters, such as Mina and Jonathan Harker, have come to incorporate aspects of Catholicism into their own lives, if not have symbolically converted.…

    The tension between the past and present is one of the key central tropes that is continually addressed in the novels ‘Dracula’, written by Bram Stoker, and ‘Lady Audley’s Secret’, written by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. While gothic novels such as ‘Dracula’ and sensation fiction based on gothic tropes like ‘Lady Audley’s Secret’ are both presented in a modern society, the plot, underlying symbolism, and settings allows the past and present to persist as a central trope of the gothic. In the early stages of the gothic, the genre ultimately provided a representation for domestic fears and anxieties amongst the cultural shifts within society. The tension between the past and the present existed within gothic novels as a way of expressing concerns over modernity and the rapidly changing culture. Most importantly, the tension between the past and present consistently reappears through the plot, setting and representations of characters because of the ever-present change in society.…
