On the same night that Shelley’s Frankenstein was created, the world gained another villain: Dracula. Stoker novel, Dracula, started a craze of vampirism that is still relevant today. What made this novel mainstream in the Romanic era is the way Gothic elements are intertwined in the novel. Dracula’s use of the archetypal character, drama, ATMOSPHERE OR ENVIROMENT, and decay earns it the honor of being considered Romantic, or Gothic, literature. In Gothic literature, there is always a hero…

shown in the way Lucy’s fiancé is willing to transfer his blood into her veins, but also in the way, the doctor is watching over her making her feel safe. Horror is shown in the way Count Dracula is turning Lucy into a vampire and later tries to turn Mina Murray. Other dichotomies could be Dr. John Seward and Dr. Van Helsing.

She implies that the camera has no life to it and that even though she is a part…

I would argue that perhaps more than in any other literary period, any textual inclination towards sexuality deteriorated as the eighteenth century progressed, ‘desexualising’ it, or, at least confining it to the bedroom doors of married couples.

She first references the concept after going out to tea with her best friend Lucy Westenra, in which she believes “[they] should have shocked the ‘New Woman] with [their] appetites.
