Dracula

Hektor finds what he's looking for a mere three blocks from his abode, though it's far to close to where he lives.

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson was a brilliant, enticing read. It is definitely the most interesting, multi-layered vampire story I have ever read. It provided the genre with such unique and authentic qualities, allowing Matheson to impregnate a unique believability of these vampires into my mind. Robert Neville, the protagonist of the novel, is the only survivor of a devastating pandemic which plagued the rest of the population with a form of vampirism. Neville spends much of his days…

Societal interest in the vampire has waxed and waned throughout the ages though they have remained ever present. Vampires have gone through many evolutions, as have their admirers and audience. Throughout the centuries they have been portrayed as dreaded creatures of the night, beings to be pitied, and, in recent years, as love interests. The evolution of vampires can be traced back throughout history using their presence in mythology, literature, and film. Vampires, like most creatures of…

According to Monica Hesse, author of Girl In the Blue Coat, “Mina’s storyline draws from Lydia van Nobelen-Riezouw, though not a member of the underground camera, a loosely joined network of professional photographers, did live in an apartment abutting the Schouwburg’s rear courtyard, and Lydia did take photographs of the Jewish prisoners when she recognised a childhood friend among them.” But, what I’m actually here to talk about, is what motivated Mina to take pictures of everything. Mina…

throughout eras, such as the Victorian era. In the most popular novel ever told by Bram Stoker, Dracula, there are many types of people shown. The two common ones shown throughout the novel are the non-virtuous and virtuous women. During the Victorian era, there were many women who were either identified as virtuous or non-virtuous women.

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. Another way of putting it is the exploitation of others in order to get what we want. This essence does not simply apply to just vampire stories, it can be found in most suspense and scary novels. More importantly the chapter leads to the understanding that a loss of your ground or…

I Am Legend is a science fiction horror story but unlike most horror stories, "I Am Legend" is not a hero versus villain scenario. I am legend is set in a futuristic version of Los Angeles. Robert Neville, the last surviving human fights against a race of terrifying vampires. However what makes the book different to most is it doesn't glorify Neville's hatred towards the vampires, instead the author uses Neville's interaction with the vampires to study the concept of "otherness" - the way one…

In death of the woods, the old woman was a symbolic vampire. Before we discuss vampires, it might be helpful to know what vampires are. Foster talks about vampires in chapter 3 when he says, “It’s also about things other than literal vampirism: selfishness, exploitation, a refusal to respect the autonomy of other people, just for starters.” In this paragraph, I will show that the old woman did all three. First, the woman refused to respect the autonomy of another organism. When Jake went to get…

For a horror action with mediocre quality, surprising indeed could still see the Underworld franchise can still stay standing for over 13 years.
