can we all mutually agree that colonialism is actually a main antagonist in dracula
#this idea of like#'my society is the only true society look at these quaint foreigners'#its part of why dracula was so arrogant#he thought these people who didn't know him were going to be easy to dupe and conquer#the dismissiveness towards the locals in transylvannia is why dracula was given the chance to head to britain#and even now it follows are protagonists#acting like mina's idea of herself is more true more pure than those who know what she is becoming#'their quaint superstitions gather too much attention when directed at me' she thinks#and so a source of knowledge is rejected#'why do they feed me so much garlic' says the woman turning into a vampire surrounded by those who know how to ward them off#the dismissive attitude towards locals of a different place is a palpable force that blinds both dracula and our heroes to what lies before#them#dracula daily
