If you would love to learn more about this nail biter, then continue reading. “Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!” In the story Dracula there is a clash of religion. Dracula is more of a satanic or evil character. He only creeps about at night. If he does come out during the day he is covered from head to toe. Light represents good. Dark represents evil. He mostly remains in the darkness throughout the story. When people in the story hear that Harker is going to Dracula’s castle they form crosses with their hands. The crucifix is used to ward off evil by the majority of religious people. A crucifix is a symbol of Christian religion and typically has Jesus crucified on it. Not all have the crucification on it. A lot of them are actually just a cross. It is believed that it can protect you…

    When people think of the infamous Wallachian ruler Vlad III Drăculea, they think of the famous literary monster of nightmares, Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula. Dracula, who has appeared in many media outlets from the big screen of Hollywood to the bright lights of Broadway, is thought by many to have been inspired by the Wallachian Voivode that is better known as Vlad the Impaler.

    First off, I 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…

    The story of a vampire, Count Dracula, written by Bram Stoker. Back in 1879 when this piece of literature was written it did not take much to push fear into an average persons mind.

Motifs such as revenants, somnambulism, mist/fog, curses, cemeteries, and many more are what give many gothic novels their appeal and emotional interest. This novel has a way of making the reader overthink everything and second guess themselves when it comes to…
