Dracula
I
think the theories that best relates to Dracula would have to be myths, and
rites and rituals. Dracula is a myth in all rights. He is a figment of Bram
Stokers imagination, a great on at that. The fact that Dracula is not real
makes the story even better. It lets you imagine things that could not be
possible. It defies logic and that is the best thing an author can do for a
good book. In the story of Dracula there are also rites and rituals. Such as
there are only certain way Dracula can be killed or stopped. Those are rites
and usually only a priest can perform them so they work. Think like he had to
be stabbed in the heart with a wooden stake or holy water will burn him, he
cannot stand the sight of a cross or the best one yet garlic will keep him
away. These are just genus. The rituals that are in Dracula is he sleeps during
the day in his coffin, or he has to drink blood to survive, if he drinks a
person dry they die but if he drinks a little then the person will live but
will turn into a vampire like Dracula.
Dracula
is a fascinating character and the more I studied him the more interesting I
found him to be. The way I analyzed him throughout this class, I was able to
break down the reasons I felt he was so popular, and that did change how I
looked at Dracula a person. I feel that many people look at Dracula the same
way I do and I see the popular culture idea much better.
