We learn through this conversation that Lucy died due to her impurity, and so one of Dracula’s core themes is revealed: the struggle between lust and chastity, between promiscuity and marriage. The novel serves as an indictment of sexual freedom and a call for a return to traditional romance. To understand the significance of Van Helsing’s exchange with Seward, it is important

    creator. I read the Mary Shelley novel recently, and I still don’t respond to this material. This isn’t at all a story that interests me, but I do understand that it does have its fan-base. My favorite incarnation of Frankenstein’s monster is the ‘Van Helsing’ iteration, it was just the right amount of creepy and silly. I felt like that film had a lot of fun with the character, and that’s one of the main things that stands out to me about this film. It appears that they’re not taking the characters too

    out or at least to be disturbed and in need of some self-reflection time. The only exception to this is when the horror movie is a parody or when the movie has a cheesy and funny overtone with a darker undercurrent as with Young Frankenstein and Van Helsing respectively. The way that these movies pull apart the horror genre and dissect it with love and admiration actually makes me want to watch more horror films, which is no small feat. Young Frankenstein draws attention to elements of horror by

    I watched the movie Victor Frankenstein, in this movie unlike others before it, they intended to portray the life of the creator instead of the monster. I believe that they successfully made this difference because they explain his life and show his years before the monster is even created.

This film shows more concern with the journey of the two men and how they come to be equals in not only the science aspect but

In chapter fifteen, they are now experts in the dealings and explanation of Lucy the human and Lucy the Un-Dead. As we read the chapters sixteen and seventeen it is preconditioned for us
