Analysis of Dracula and the Vampire Myth

The story of Dracula began long before Bram Swell wrote his famous novel. Even before this, vampires were in the minds of people since the beginning of the 9th century. In fact, these stories are still very common these years and that is the reason for this question. What is the reason why these vampire stories are so popular? The answer may be in the document itself. Taking various vampire stories, including the classic story of Brahm Stoker, reveals a series of similarities. Of course, not all stories reflect other stories on all sides of the image, but repeated images are images that most people associate easily with vampires.

Before writing Dracula, Stalker studied European folklore and vampire stories that were influenced by Emily Gerard 's 1885 article "Transylvania' s superstition" for seven years. Some historians believe that the historical figure Vlad III Dracula is often called Vlad the Impaler. According to a specialist, Stoker borrows only "fragment of miscellaneous information", but Stoker's work note has no comment on this blood-hungry Wallachia tyrant. Dracula scholar Elizabeth Miller said in addition to its name and the mention of Romanian history, the background of Count Stoke is not similar to the background of Vlad III Dracula.

Bram Stoker's novel Dracula is a combination of legendary patterns about vampire myths. The imagination of the author changed the legend of the number of modern Dracula. Importantly, this novel is a product of the Victorian era. As everyone knows, Victorian people have very stringent requirements for social behavior and personal education. Their moral system is based on binding force, moderation, and all instincts. In this context of freedom of restraint and control, the vampire fantasy of Stoke is unusual

Vampire novels are always about sex (as opposed to vampire myths). Dracula seduces and distorts a fine British woman and talks about a foreigner who evokes the "strange" emotion of British men. Camilla is about lesbians. The Vampyre of Polidori ... Well, aliens seduce respected British women. Dracula's daughter once more about lesbians. This is done because the author wants to attack without colliding with the examiner. Sometimes this is done because authors want to explore sexual desire from a new perspective. Sometimes it is only because sex and death are like rum and cola. However, recently several changes have been made. Just as zombie movies are not only about human society, the vampire story is not just about sex. Vampires and zombies are no longer symbolic but they have become their own theme
