Dracula is someone interested in the erotic, you aren't reading the novel for any kind of subtext.
It wasn't scary

Did the noble and misinformed peasants of the 800s even know about sex? I think we, with our sex educated ways, are projecting.

>Dracula is more or less to do with 19th century fear of masculine and feminine freedom in sexuality.
you said that, I can't see it. That is something that you can see more in the movie.
If you want sex in the book then is about some sexual problem, like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. The vampires in the castle laughed of him because he can't love, and the girls that the guy is sucking their blood are stressed and almost crazy but they guy is more young and vital.
This interpretation is farfetched (is that the word?) as "sexual freedom of the women!!!!"
Kayden Hill
because it isnt there. That's what projecting means
Evan Morris
Did you forget his literal harem of vampire chicks back at the castle?
Chase Richardson
What kind of implication does that have? Because Dracula has a bunch of women the novel suddenly becomes about sex?
Maybe it's about the aftereffects of rejecting monarchical rule in Europe because he lives in a castle.

The effects of disease and plague because vampirism is infectious. Taking literal pieces in novels and transferring them into themes is a disgusting byproduct of learning how to close read through a liberal arts course in university.
Oliver Reyes
not that guy.
The harem humilliate him, and he ate a baby making him a pedo. I don't think that the idea of all that is about sexuallity, or at least about show how good sexuallity is. It is more than making him a raper from uncivilizated countries that go to England to destroy it

It's amazing how Veeky Forums can be at one time so pretentious and elitist, and at the same time so anti-intellectual.
