a high exaggeration. Elizabeth was born on August 7th, 1560 into one of the wealthiest families in Transylvania. She could speak and write four languages, and had a high education, proving she was a very intelligent woman. At fourteen she married Count Bathory, eventually having six children, two of which died at an early age. Elizabeth is almost proved to be a sadistic person, due to old letters of hers that have been found and mostly restored. Though some like to say she was framed,…
Vampires, first introduced in 1897 have traveled an extensive path into the modern world of 2015. A blood thirsty monster, avoiding garlic and sunlight, only being able to be killed by a wooden stake driven through the heart are all characteristics of the vampires found in 1897. Now a days vampire don’t burst in to flame at the touch of sunlight or have uncontrollable blood lust for human blood, but instead sparkle in the sun and “diet,” which entails that they feed on animals instead of humans…
threat of regression. These modern anxieties found fruitful soil in literary works that address monstrous characters. One such example is Dracula, written by Anglo-Irish novelist Bram Stoker. The supernatural Count Dracula, a vampire, covets female victims who he can sully with his degenerative blood, turning them into monstrous characters that…
Unknowing to the public during its publication and Bram Stoker himself, his novel, Dracula, published in 1897, would be destined for greatness and provide an influence to horror and fright that would resonate for years to come. The novel crept out at the end of the Victorian era at a time where science, literature, and even medicine were advancing the western world to a new height of cultural triumphs. And while the Victorian era had slowly developed its own desired personality of moral and…
different. Overall they both qualities that are like human and if you compare it to a human it would be similar. The last point is victim killing and they kill two different ways. The way Dracula kills is by sucking their blood until there is no more blood (“Who was the real Count Dracula”, 2008). This is similar to the ways the modern movies do it. Nosferatu kills his victims where he just attacks them and they die right away like if they are struck by a disease (“Nosferatu vs. Dracula”, 2006).…
newer, contemporary documentation. Descending from Europe, these nightwalkers hunt once the sun goes down, and light can no longer rule over them. The moon is their freedom and the darkness is their strength. They feast on human blood. The juicy richness of fresh human blood gives them superhuman strength. Although they are prisoners by day, they are rulers by night. They look like humans, with small differences…

Your cock is so hard and strong, I put my mouth on it, swallow you. It’s not enough. I’m aching. I feel this encroaching void.

Fuck me until you’re all I can think of, Please bend me back and over, brace me against the wall and thrust yourself into me. Harder, please, yes. Cum in me. Do it. I’ve got plastic inside…
So, maybe Transylvania aka Romania wasn’t one of these countries but the uneasy feeling is still there. What does Hollywood do when they want to make an antagonist seem even scarier? They make the antagonist a foreigner. This novel would not have been as enticing and thrilling if Dracula was from England. Even making his character French or American would not have been as effective. These two cultures were ones the Brits already knew well enough not to fear. Stoker was clever to make Dracula…
In chapter 22 of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker’s husband, reveals in his journal how unresponsive he is too the fate of his wife. Following the events in chapter 21 where Mina had been hypnotized by Dracula and is at risk for becoming a vampire Mr.Harker writes “ As I must do something or go mad, I write this diary” (306).
