Shakespeare further develops this theme, insinuating that such situations may prove avoidable, rather than maintaining an inextricable tie to human nature. Shakespeare initially mirrors the theme of “Pyramus and Thisbe,” as the families of Romeo and…

Chapter 3 Nice to Eat You: Acts of Vampires In the chapter “Nice to Eat You: Acts of Vampires”, Foster enlightens the reader to meaning behind vampire stories which is the old and corrupt figure preying on the young.

thought it was interesting that Jonathan Harker couldn’t locate the exact location of Count Dracula’s castle on any of the maps that he viewed. This set the mood of the novel for me. I think the author, Bram Stoker, put in little hints of “horror” to set the tone for the rest of the novel. Being that I have not read nor seen Dracula, I thought the first chapter was very intriguing. Whenever the topic of Count Dracula came about it seemed as if everyone in the novel deemed him to be something…

There is, however, little evidence that backs this assumption. In fact, there is actually a lot of evidence that refutes the idea that Stoker drew his inspiration for the Count from Vlad the Impaler, including evidence from Count…

Along Jonathan Harker's journey to Dracula's castle, he stumbles upon many people with various warnings. The most significant, the landlady at Bistritz who asks him if he knows “what day it is?” When he says that he doesn't, she then replies, “It is the eve of St George’s Day. Tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all evil things in the world will have full sway.” She is very persistent in warning him and places a crucifix necklace around his neck, which shows to be useful later on in the…
