Bram Stoker's Dracula

Jan 19, 2012 21:35

Pre-concieved -via popular culture- notions:
  • Dracula was a ladies man with swag and arrogance
  • Van Helsing was a rougishly handsome young man devoted to vampire hunting all his life
  • Lucy Westernra was seduced by the Count
  • Renfield was a misshapen bowed-back man with no personal hygiene.
  • 'Dracula' would be an exciting read.

Thoughts so far: (48 kindle percent)
  • Count Dracula is a almost weedy guy with a chinese-type long white beard (before regeneration)
  • Van Helsing is the ultimate robust Professor from Holland stereotype
  • Mina could turn out to be a bamf is she wasn't quite content to be demure
  • ye gods Lucy's gotta be stunning to have all these guys fawning over her
  • Renfield, for all his bouts of mania looks like a simple country bumpkin
  • all of the narrator characters have so much Stiff-Upper-Lip Britishness that the book is dull

count dracula, renfield, dracula, bram stoker, lucy westernra, van helsing
