'My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side.'

Over the weekend, I finished re-reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. In this post, I want to gather together my thoughts about it, and, primarily, to say that it was better than I remembered it or expected it to be. Those familiar with my LJ style will have guessed already that this is likely to be a long post – so long, in fact, that I have been writing it over several days on my word-processor before pasting it in here. Thank the gods for LJ cuts, eh?

( Me and Dracula )

( Criticisms: vocabulary and inconsistencies with dates )

( A neutral observation: vampirism and sex )

( Positive points 1: technology vs. superstition )

( Positive points 2: Mina Harker )
