There are specific behaviors and examples that define these people and their conditions. However, there are some very specific cases that can be sown to express the very oddity of the people themselves. For example, Vlad the Third, Prince of Wallachia, or as may like to refer to him, as “Dracula”, was the very inspiration for the 1897 novel by Bram Stoker, in which a vampire by the name of Dracula sneaks into people’s houses at night, while they are sleeping, and drains them of life by sucking their blood. This novel created mass emotion and fear of the fictional character, however, few understand that the real-life vampire, was a far worse creature than what was shown in the book. Vlad the Third, or Vlad the Impaler, as he was better known, had a quite literal taste for blood.

In addition, when Lucy transformed into a vampire, she had already been infused with the blood of 3 other men than her husbands.

The three black flowers at the bottom also represent the three vampire sisters, which were often described as “voluptuous.” On top of these roses is a Barbie doll which represents a standard of beauty women were expected to have.

evil (dark). To begin with, light colors, such as white, are highlighted through characters such as Lucy Westenra, as she is both literally and figuratively characterized to be among “the white garments of the angel,” indicating that Lucy is a character who represents all that is pure and noble in a lady (Stoker 209). On the other hand, the vampires in the novel, Count Dracula and the three female vampire wives, are associated with the colors black and red. For example, when Jonathan Harker first encounters Count Dracula, Dracula is revealed to be “clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of colour about him anywhere” (Stoker 13). This emphasizes his role as an antagonist in the novel.

Victorian women were seen to be stay-at-home wives and especially not as intelligent as men were. The impurity of Lucy would have been frightening amongst Victorians because they are blind to superstitions, thus having a vampire in England is new and unusual. Also, the fact that the “monster” is a woman is different because women are known, or characterized, to be pure and innocent, and that frightens the men since a woman can be as strong as they can. Throughout Dracula, however, there is a woman who portrays faith and the definition of purity, and that woman is Mina. The role of women comes into play when Van Helsing complimented Mina saying that “She has a man’s brain--a brain that a man should have were he much gifted--and woman’s heart” (Stoker 251).

In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the bloodsucking aspect of vampirism both disgusts and attracts the characters. All instances of bloodsucking are eerily sexy, or have elements of seduction incorporated with feelings of immoral lust and sexual repression. One example of this is from Chapter 3 when Johnathan says “There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal.” (3.32) The conventional gender roles are reversed in the quote with the female vampire as the active aggressor and Johnathan as the passive receiver of the kiss.
