Count Dracula

The novella Carmilla is much more complicated in its message and connection to queerness within the horror genre. On the surface there is a kind of innocence in the relationship that Laura and Carmilla share. It doesn’t seem to go much beyond light physical intimacy, but the scenes are described in a romantic way by the Laura, such as when she states of Carmilla, “And when she had spoken such rhapsody, she would press me more closely in her trembling embrace, and her lips in soft kisses gently…

is the story about Alucard, the vampire, who serves the Helsing family to hunt other vampires and ghouls. Hellsing: The Dawn is the history of Alucard that led to his servantship under Helsing. Both works have a strong influence from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, published in 1897, and refer to the main plot and characters from the novel. Dr. Jan Perkowski, a professor of Slavic language and literature, created a structural analysis method to study the vampire characters in the folklore. His analysis…

In Dracula, Stoker presents a stark representation of women and attacks the “New Women”, through the voice of the main women characters, Lucy Westenra and Mina Murray, later known as Mrs. Harker. In the Longman Cultural Edition of Dracula, the term “New Woman” is defined as a “single urban young woman, often working in a new clerical job; she smoked cigars and rode a bicycle and ventured, scandalously into the world on her own” (Blake, Dracula 413). Mina is the epitome of the idealized virtuous…

In conclusion, uncanny sides of London are visible in both novels. Both Levy and Stoker connect the uncanny to the "other." In Dracula, the uncanny "other" is represented by vampires whereas Levy's "others" are immigrants. Additionally, both novels are connected to the empire: Stoker writes during the Victorian period and is visibly influenced by the imperial mind-set; Levy writes in a post-imperial context as her text depicts an empire that is falling apart. The two novels depict the "other"…

storyline with an authentic vampire. This is the perk of getting the opportunity to see Bram Stocker’s Dracula at the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium on October 2, 2015. October 2, 2015 was also the only night…

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…

They have been roaming the earth’s surfaces since as far back as the 17th century, but the stories were probably told even before then, too. These monsters aren’t just made-up from authors and storytellers, they are as real as we humans are. The history of vampires is still alive today and their archives of adventures keeps growing with 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…

The book Vladimir Tod was a fantastic book which I rate 10/10 because the plot was amazing. If I were to recommend the fictional book The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod by Heather Brewer I would say to read the whole series. Reason is because the book can catch your interest right away if you like love and suspense this is the book for you. You get to see the struggles of kid who lost his mom and father. The main characters are Vlad, Henry McMillan, Joss, Otis, Dorian and D'ablo. The protagonist is…

Hektor finds what he's looking for a mere three blocks from his abode, though it's far to close to where he lives. He could follow her, cajole her to further places with his chiseled features and vaguely familiar yet foreign accent, if all else failed there was enticing simplicity of hypnosis, though such acts could be readily interpreted by an outsider looking in, damning all attempts to feed this night and besides; Hektor enjoyed that very idea that they accepted their fate with the added…
