🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
The classic of the classics, who doesn't know Dracula?
The entire novel is written as if it were collection of diaries, notes and letters.
In a way surprisingly to me that it was full of pure adventures, good guys chasing the bad guy to save woman.
But it is the woman who became the victim because of the men's heroism and she saves their asses.
Also if you read between the lines, it's sexual, or bisexual even. Dracula likes the blood of young beautiful women, but he also imprisoned Jonathan and attempted to attack him also.
So, the threat is in the town and it brings about the awakening of women to their intelligence and sexuality, so the 4 men go out to hunt. That's one way to look at it but certainly it's playing a lot with the idea if female sexuality and empowerment.
