And there's the upcoming Dracula: A Love Tale, which will be about Dracula's love for Mina
oh 😔 why do we continue to romanticize that horrible man? he was a horrible person in life, let alone in death, and i find nothing romantic about it.
#i will never understand how people read dracula and see it as a story of repression#in this case dracula repressed ''human'' emotions. what is that van helsing says in the book?#that dracula has a ''child brain'' still developing to what it was psychologically in life? so if that's the case--#and we see dracula become MORE cruel and sadistic and violent--it really doesn't give the best impression of alive!dracula#YES i see parallels between a twisted love and dracula's pyschological torture of jonathan and the others#but i also see that lucy and mina (and dare i say jonathan) still reflect their human nature in their undead state#e.g. lucy going after children because she craved being a wife and mother in life#anywho i think romanticizing dracula does a disservice to the abuse everyone else endures. ik I'm talking to the choir here but.#dracula#ask#anonymous
