August Monologue
Tinges of scarlet stained my mind on that desolate day. An occurrence that would change my whole life.
“ Pathetic wench, come on, let’s go.” he said. Disgusting, the first, thought that comes to mind to any type of action that he does, fills me with the deepest loathing. I hate him so. When he speaks, the way he walks with every breath, makes my blood boil.
“Why hast you not spoken a word, stinking wench.” he says as he grabs hold of my face, and violently throws me to the ground.
Tis true I’ve not spoken since that, and I refuse to ever speak again, he simply does not deserve my utterance. To be filled with such deep despair, makes me dread each day, my heart breaks. Is not fear that strikes me as I examine this repulsive man, my courage

The shock was so bad not a screech escaped my lips. As I rush outside in a panic, a dark figure catches my eyes, the massacre also in full sight. Misery overtakes my body, falling to the ground paralyzed, as salty crystals creeped out of my eyes. Looking up at the distant shadow, it appears to be drawing near, and I accept, my fate.
“What’s a fairly decent maiden such as yourself doing with such trash? Come, maybe if I bring you to my sire I shall be rewarded.”
I followed the strange, royal looking man in hopes maybe I’ve been rescued? And, I, have never been so wrong. I was forcefully pulled into the direction of a dirt road where a beautiful horse awaited, and an awfully attractive man, he reeked, the repugnant stench of blood. That's when I met his cold, soulless eyes for the first time.
“Sire you seemed to have missed one.” the horsman said.
Missed one? I thought.
“Well isn't this virgin a sight for sore eyes.” the man

TIS A FOOL?” the horseman spoke again
“Is fine Aleksandar, she must be unaware of her position.” he chuckled.
“I, deceitful wench, are the ruler of Wallachia, and soon, the world.”
“I am Vlad the III, also known as Vlad Dracula, the Merciless King.” He proudly states, a conceited smirk plastered upon his filthy face.
“Well, King Dracula, my I ask if you’ve the idea of what’s happened to my village?” I concernedly inquire. Dracula’s sickening cackle echoes throughout the deserted forest.
“To your dismay, virgin, tis my doing.” he answers, fully satisfied.
My expression falters from a look of hope to a look of disarray, as the words pour from his mouth as he's done this many times before, and my mind tries to process the situation. Abruptly, I’m thrown into the back of a wagon, hands and mouth bound.
“What shall we do with the fair maiden, sire?” said Aleksandar
“I’d be a waste to execute such a lovely face, I shall keep her as my play thing for now.” Stated Vlad.
“But sire, what of madame Llona?” asked Aleksandar
“YOU DARE DEFY ME ALEKSANDAR!” shouted Vlad
“No my lord, of course not.” said Aleksander
“As if my pig wife has any permission to intervene in my affairs.” Vlad angrily

    I’d tumbled off the freight in the jungle by Deptford and found a fire and seven fellows around it, and they had stew – somebody’d got a rabbit and it was in a pail over the fire with some carrots. Ever eat that? It’s awful, but I wanted some, and after a lot of nastiness they said I could have some after they’d had what they wanted of me. My manhood just couldn’t stand it, and I left them. They laughed at me and said I’d be back when I got good and hungry. Then I met this woman, wandering by herself. I knew she was a town woman. Women tramps are very rare; too much sense, I guess. She was clean and looked like an angel to me, but I threatened her and asked her for money. She hadn’t any; then I grabbed her. She wasn’t much afraid and asked what I wanted. I told her in tramp’s language, and I could see she didn’t understand, but when I started to push her down and grab at her clothes she said, ‘Why are you so rough?’ and then I started to cry. She held my head to her breast and talked nicely to me, and I cried worse, but the strange thing is I still wanted her. As if only that would put me right, you see? That’s what I said to her. And do you know what she said? She said ‘You may if you promise not to be rough.’ So I did, and that was when you people came hunting her. When I look back now, it’s a wonder that it wasn’t all over with me that moment. But it wasn’t. No, it was glory come into my life. It was as if I had gone right into Hell…

    Stoker’s Dracula, by contrast, is refined and enthralling. He has transmutated from a monster of sorts to a mysterious seducer, from a coldhearted “beast” of incontestable evil to a complex human arousing a strange sympathy and blurring the lines between good and evil. Count Dracula is now an attractive, sophisticated aristocrat who moves about easily in polite society. Dracula’s motivation throughout the film is the pursuit of his lost love, reincarnated in Mina Harker.…

    In an analysis of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and one of many film adaptions, Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, it is very evident that the female characters within the movie and the book are remarkably different. Not only is the love interest between Mina (Ryder) Harker and Dracula (Oldman) an addition to the movie, but the extreme sexualization of all the female characters within the film adaption portray the women in a new light. Through the distinction in character portrayal between the movie and the book, the underlying contrast between the “New Woman” and the Victorian Woman become very identifiable.…

    As I ran, I heard my footsteps echo through the streets. I had no idea where I was going, only that I needed to get far, far, far away from the castle.

    Other than being remade into other forms such as movies and cartoons, Dracula was a relatively new concept during the time of its publication and had a major impact to its surrounding society. Today, the novel’s uses of multiple unique elements of writing such as dramatic irony, the everyman, and suspense/mystery continues to speak to interests of readers. In addition, the character itself, like any other supernatural beings including ghosts and witches, naturally intriguing us just based on many people’s love of getting scared; Dracula is portrayed in the novel as a completely evil and manipulative character that feasts upon the lives of mortals for his survival. Throughout the course of “Dracula,” Stoker used an epistolary form of writing not only for its prevalence in the Victorian era, but also for its effectiveness in portraying first person point-of-views and first-hand accounts for multiple characters. By doing so, he was able to make readers feel as if they themselves could have been in the characters’ shoes. Because it was an epistolary format and readers knew exactly what each character knew and did not know, his application of dramatic irony became clearer than other literary pieces as well. Dramatic irony was used in the course of the novel in multiple ways. The Victorian readers already knew of the vampire concept by the 18th century and Dracula was written in the early-mid 19th century. As they read the novel, they generally would have known what Dracula was, and had a similar idea to what we think now, before Jonathan Harker’s realization of Dracula’s intentions (Stoker 22). Another way dramatic irony was added in the novel was the placement of each journal. For instance, readers were notified first of Jonathan’s experiences in his journal and then Mina’s journal was revealed with her wondering about the condition of her finace (Stoker 27,…

    Dracula Good + Evil

    • 10 Pages

    Dracula is a story about the perennial battle between good and evil involving Dracula as the antagonist. This war dates back as far as God versus the Devil or the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch in Oz. It is black and white, right? But wait, wasn’t it God who drowned the entire human population at one point and killed every Egyptian firstborn son at another. Was Lucifer a revolutionary who spoke out against dictatorship and was cast down to Hell for it? The Wicked Witch’s name already spells out how we should view her but is it not well within her rights to inherit her dead sister’s shoes? Instead we see them on the feet of her murderer, does that make her Wicked? Why does The “Good” Witch leave out the fact the shoes are magic until after she allows the innocent Dorothy carry out the deed of murdering her rival? The maxim goes “There are two sides to every story” and I have to whole-heartedly agree with it. No human being is wholly good and neither are they completely evil. In this essay, I will examine the themes of good and evil and attempt to change the way you view Dracula, its characters and plot.…

    (Walk back and forth)(She talks disheartened but slightly annoyed) “Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck.” What knowledge is there now that I can be innocent of ? Innocent, the eyes of one who has seen the corpse of a King, smoothly hacked like a piece of meat in the hands of a butcher, knowing it was those eyes, my eyes that watched the traitorous act come to pass on that merciless night. Yet I feel as if my soul has shattered into millions of shards, the jagged pieces piercing my heart agonizingly, I feel a pain I knew not existed.(Pick up Macbeth’s cape) How could the man who named me his “dearest partner of greatness” now diminish me to a simple chuck?
