Female Sexuality

Women's sexuality plays a very important role in DRACULA and MAXIMUM GAGA. They all talk about female sexuality virginity and debaucher, but they have different opinions. In DRACULA, only nursery rhymes are accepted; exposures can not bear completely. Stoke believes that children's songs are very valuable and wants the reader to know that women are punished due to nymphosity, so each virginity of female characters has a different end. In Maximum Gaga, Lara did not give a decisive attitude to virginity and violence of women's sexuality; she believed that they could exist simultaneously.

In Bram Stoker's Dracula there is a threat of gender role and female sexual desire. Victorian society often suppresses women's sexuality, which is determined by a strict tradition and a strict male and female role. A woman is a pure and innocent virgin, a wife and a mother, or a prostitute. Lucy was once one of the most outward-looking female characters who wanted to know "why they can not marry a girl to three men, or how much can you want her and can not save all these troubles?" . She questioned the traditional sexual desire by aspiring to have multiple husbands. When Dracula turned Lucy into a young addictive vampire, the man could not see the other options, just destroyed her and put it back to pure state. When Stoke killed one of Lucy, one of the most powerful female characters, it caused the reader 's question whether it is due to the threat of women' s sexuality imposed on the novel.
