I can certainly see thatDavid Dawson wrote:And while Mina might be a rounded, strong character, Lucy is not, and there is a definite vibe of women being punished for having desires etc.

I don't know if this was aimed at Hedda or me, but from my point of view I never intended to suggest he was innocent. Just that he served as a manifestation of Stoker's sexual/ political hang-ups...cheshiregator wrote:I partially disagree. The Count may not have been a complete demon, but he wasn't exactly an innocent person either

To an extent I suspect that this is symptomatic of what a different time it was. That what to us has incredibly blatant sexual undertones (and I'd forgotten about the scene with Harker and the female vampires, but, yes, it is glaringly obvious to a modern reader) might perhaps have slipped under the Victorian radar.hedda gabler 46 wrote:the sexual themes didnt seem to bother anyone really judging by some of the critical reviews of the time... -- 13 May 2014, 07:02 --
