- Dracula
- Female sexuality
- Villain/victim
- Women
- Lucy part victim, part villain - targeted by Dracula (external), but gives in to temptation (interntal)
- Eve + Garden of Eden
- Lucy part victim, part villain - targeted by Dracula (external), but gives in to temptation (interntal)
- Dracula
- Clearly a villain - his link to the East draws upon Victorian fear of outsider + immigration
- Harker
- Dracula: 'this man belongs to me!'
- Women
- The 'other'/ outsider
- Dracula: Jewish facial features, 'aquiline nose'
- from the 'extreme east' of Transylvania
- 'the Slovaks were more barbarian that the rest'
- 'the further east you go the more unpunctual are the trains'
- Religion/superstition vs modernity
- religious iconography repels the vampires
- science and religion used together to combat Dracula
- Narrative perspective
- no narrative voice of Dracula or anyone from the east
- solely from a western perspective - centred around modernity, rationality and empire
