Westenra, in which she believes “[they] should have shocked the ‘New Woman] with [their] appetites. Men are more tolerant, bless them!” (Stoker 123). Mina refers to a separate class of writers linked to this movement, which she supposes “will some day start an idea that men and women should be allowed to see each other asleep before proposing or accepting [marriage]” (Stoker 123-124). She continues, supposing that in the future the New Woman would not be satisfied simply with accepting a…

Dracula- Fear of the Unknown All living creatures fear the Dracula character. Fear stems from not understanding the unknown and the differences that Dracula had. For example, how Dracula’s physical body looks to Johnathan Harker who is the protagonist who that becomestrapped in Dracula’s Castle. Jonathan Harker explains how Dracula looks and that is when the fear enters Jonathan Harker’s soul: “With peculiarity sharp white teeth; these protruded over the lips whose remarkable ruddiness showed…

Vampires and humans It is very strange how the words vampires and humans have been used in the same sentence for centuries. From the stories of Count Dracula and his three wives, to the Twilight Saga, vampire stories have become famous and like a drug for fans. The story of Vladimir Tod, the teenage vampire, by Heather Brewer is no exception to this. The writer tried to make this book interesting to boys and girls and therefore chose a simple colour scheme, and a simply designed cover to…

Jonathan, "There was something about them that made me uneasy, some longing and at the same time some deadly fear. I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips. It is not good to note this down, lest some day it should meet Mina’s eyes and cause her pain; but it is the truth. They whispered together, and then they all three laughed— such a silvery, musical laugh, but as hard as though the sound never could have come through the softness of human lips"…

sub-groups or territories is more than likely unfamiliar to you, just as it was to me, but whether these groups are deliberately joined or not I would argue that a large percent of people around the world participate in this type of lifestyle. Desmond Morris describes our nation as a large tribal territory, and conveys that we individually seek out smaller sub groups to feel a…

One of the troubling facts of classical vampire mythology was that the vampire figure was intimately described as an evil symbol, which addressed the stereotypical gender ideals that females were almost always the victim; the classical figures of the vampire, thus, frequently employed to warn females in ancient society.

The story is told by the poor islander to calm a frightened little girl.

One of the strongest human drives is a desire for power. In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Abraham Van Helsing is a classic example of this behavior. Throughout the novel, Van Helsing seeks to gain power over others believing that he is to carry out God’s message by ridding the world of evil. This is exemplified in his killing of Lucy Westenra, leading the other men to destroy vampires alongside him, and in introducing Catholicism into the lives of the English. By integrating himself into the circle of…

Dracula Stoker’s “Dracula” employs fanatic descriptions of the various settings that went from London to Transylvania and other parts of Romania. Stoker was extreme to describe the countless and ironic mysteries that unfolded. Stoker delivers extreme details between the vibrant characters. Stoker’s theme seems to demonstrate a real world caught between horror, friendship, love and death. Stoker tells his story with vividly loaded deep aspiration. The most troubling and dramatically described…

Besides Lucy, the most significant difference in Bram Stoker’s Dracula the movie was probably Mina. Although she becomes one of the main characters in both the book and the film, she plays a more prominent role in the movie. In the film, she had many of the same traits and characteristics that she did in the book, but in the film, she is also the reincarnation of Elisabeta, Dracula’s first wife who committed suicide. This eventually leads to Mina falling in love with Dracula, even though she…
