Racism in Othello Racism seems to be a big concern in Shakespeare’s tragic play‚ Othello. Because the hero of the play is an outsider‚ a Moor‚ we have an idea how blacks were regarded in England‚ in Elizabethan times.

scenes‚ such as when Dracula heaves a sack withholding a deceased child before three female vampires. It is no surprise why he choose London to be the setting of his novel. London is "exotic" and unknown. Stoker is obviously inspired by London’s castles‚ hidden streets‚ and church yards.

Stoker may have been motivated to use these in his novel describing Dracula’s
