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.
