Dracula and Reality
1,967 words, approx. 7 pages
In his gothic novel Dracula, Bram Stoker accurately incorporated the knowledge of the Victorian Era. His use of credible Victorian knowledge of science, medicine, superstitions, and psychology captured his audience and enabled them to place themselves into the novel, such that the myth of the story becomes reality for the audience.

Dracula: Sexual Metaphors and the Victorian Era
1,825 words, approx. 6 pages
Sexual metaphors are common in literature about vampires. This is true of two Dracula works: Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" and Francis Ford Coppola's film version of the book. Because vampire stories are often set in the highly repressed Victorian era, intense repression of sexuality is often reflected in vampire stories.

Dracula as a Feminist Text
1,642 words, approx. 6 pages
Stoker's text is a window through which we can see the Victorian society. We see how Stoker is sympathetic towards the limitations placed upon women in the society, but he also does not see women as completely equal. The novel "Dracula" shows a view point which is somewhere between Victorian standards of the 1890's and where we like to think we are today in the 21st Century.
