Sometimes are simply coquetteish, while other times they are sexually forward. Their portrayal in various forms of media tend to shift on their behavior.
This is accentuated in Werner Herzog's remake, where Harker is a Zombie Infectee who escapes in the end, probably spreading both the natural and supernatural plagues the Count has unleashed on the world. Murnau's Nosferatu makes the Harker character ("Hutter") the Damsel in Distress and the Mina character ("Ellen") The Hero. In the novel (and some adaptations), he Takes A Level In Badass, and spends the latter part of the story stalking Dracula through London with a Kukri knife. Jonathan Harker - The Hero, though often is downgraded to The Watson for Van Helsing in adaptations.He's Affably Evil, at least at the beginning of the novel (though that might have been completely put-on for Harker's benefit). The main characters in the novel include: "the Devil"), that originally stuck to Vlad the Impaler's father as a result of his association with the Order of the Dragon. The name, by the way, originates from the word "Dracul" (lit. (Compare Richard the Lion Heart or Napoleon Bonaparte) People in Transylvania have been cashing in, as you can see if you watch Michael Palin's New Europe and a Dracula theme park was considered, then dropped. Surprisingly, while German, Russian, Hungarian and Turkish literature and folklore all portray Dracul as a monster, he's considered a hero in Romania for his opposition to both Hungarian and Ottoman conquest, being voted among the 100 Greatest Romanians as recently as 2006. Indeed, in the novel, Van Helsing conjectures that the two were one and the same (There's also a popular theory that the name is derivative of "Droth Fhola" (pronounced Druh-Uhlla), the gaelic for "bad blood"), though Bram Stoker did not actually know a lot about the historical Dracula, beyond the name and a degree of the reputation, probably less than modern fans do. Stoker named the Count after the historical figure Vlad III Dracula, voïvode of Wallachia, who, despite being similarly bloodthirsty, was more prone to impaling his enemies than to biting their necks and drinking their blood. As Sherlock Holmes is to detectives and Superman is to superheroes, so Dracula is to vampires.īram Stoker was not the first to introduce vampires into western literature (see the "penny dreadful" - emphasis on 'dreadful' - novel Varney the Vampire for one precursor also Carmilla, which introduces lesbian vampires additionally The Vampyre, which Polidori wrote while hanging around with Mary Shelley and Lord Byron), but his Dracula is the first to enter popular culture - the name known even by people not familiar with the book, or even the genre.
For the novel by Bram Stoker, please see Dracula (novel). This page is about the character Dracula. The work-specific information needs to be moved to the pages for those specific works.
This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable.
