The Review:
Dracula, the godfather of vampires and gothic culture. This book is what started it all and brought this genre to the attention of mainstream culture and media.
The writing style is as classic as the book, but the atmosphere is what makes it so frightening for the new reader, and the words and locations add to the realism and terror.
My interpretation of this novel differs from what most people think of it because they fail to recognize that Dracula the novel is a romance novel at heart, with the sadness, longing, and forbidden love that follows in the form of reincarnation and revenge against time and bad luck. For me, Dracula was the hero of this story, and if you look at the most famous vampires of this generation, you'll see what I mean. If you don't know or understand what I mean, read or watch the Twilight Saga, and you'll see what I mean. My hero Dracula is basically all of the new book/movie series' hero vampires, but the names have been changed.
Based on the preceding paragraph, I assume that Mr. Bram Stoker cleverly hid this message in the story, but no one was able to understand this message that Dracula was actually the hero until now. If you've already read the original, read it again while remembering everything I said, and you'll notice the hidden message very clearly.
I was never afraid of Dracula, from the first time I read about him to the first time I saw him in a film played by the great Bela Lugosi. I was with my grandfather who was cheering for Van Helsing, played by Edward Van Sloan. I wasn't afraid of Dracula because I realized how much power this creature possesses, and if a human can become infected and control his desire to drink blood, then this human can be of great assistance to humanity and be extremely useful in protecting the innocent. And it's because of this that I'm so fascinated by this monster.
My grandfather was a scientist who had a lab full of gadgets, beakers, and other equipment like you see in movies, and he was always conducting experiments. I used to watch him whenever I had time, so after seeing this movie, I was always asking him questions like how can we become like Dracula without getting mad, and how about we experiment on the biggest bats and use their blood or bite to become like Dracula, and so many other crazy ideas... He was a patient man, so he just enjoyed himself and told me that one day I'd be a great scientist who would help humanity. He was correct and I can’t say more on this topic.
Synopsis:
“During a business visit to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania, a young English solicitor finds himself at the center of a series of horrifying incidents. Jonathan Harker is attacked by three phantom women, observes the Count's transformation from human to bat form, and discovers puncture wounds on his own neck that seem to have been made by teeth. Harker returns home upon his escape from Dracula's grim fortress, but a friend's strange malady — involving sleepwalking, inexplicable blood loss, and mysterious throat wounds — initiates a frantic vampire hunt. The popularity of Bram Stoker's 1897 horror romance is as deathless as any vampire. Its supernatural appeal has spawned a host of film and stage adaptations, and more than a century after its initial publication, it continues to hold readers spellbound.”
