The novel, Dracula, written by Bram Stoker, is quite similar and different to the past novels we have read so far in class. For instance, the novel Dracula begins how the other novels have began as well, with a love story. The love story always consists of the male having to leave the female for a long period of time to pursue his dreams of completing his works. Every time the male seems to leave the female for that period, he finds himself in trouble dealing with a villain.
The novel, Dracula, is also different to the novels we have read this year. For example, in the other novels the villain is created by the main character. But in Dracula, the main character meets the villain when he is on his journey.
Unlike the other novels' monsters, Dracula had a reason for his evil; to sustain his life, or immortality, rather.Frankenstein's monster was out for revenge and Hyde was evil for pleasure. Similarily to the others, Dracula was created. However, Dracula's creation was by another monster whereas Frankenstein's monster and Hyde were both created by humans, both with good intentions.
In Dracula, he has been a monster for a long time, unlike the other two novels that we have red. Not only that but the monster isnt created by a human in Dracula. In both Dr. Jekyll and Hyde and Frankenstein the monster was created by a human who thought it would help the creater. Another way that Dracula is different is that the monster actully has women who like him and are willing to talk to him.
Dracula unlike the monster in Frankenstein and Hyde was not brought on by another human, he has been a villain longer and he is not as hideous as the others. And unlike the others, Dracula does have a reason for killing and that is to sustain his own life.
Dracula was not created by a person. The "evil" is naturally in him because he needs the blood of humans to survive, and also similar to the novel Jekyll and Hyde, we are trying to find out more and more about the villain (dracula) throughout the novel.
To tag along with what Brian said, Dracula is a more purposeful monster. Sure, he enjoys drinking blood just as much as the next monster, but he does it to keep his life going. In contrast, Mr. Hyde surely enjoyed being evil and everything that it stood for; He did not think twice about any of his actions.
i think Dracula is a little bit different from the other novel we've read. first, in this novel, the main character is a powerful monater, he doesn't die and nobody can hurt him. second, he has to drink human's blood to live. thrid, there is no such a relationship between creator and be created. also, there is one thing similar with Frankenstien,which is they both are very powerful. and Dracular is a evil, same as Mr.Hyde, they both do evil things, such as kill people.
I feel like the excitement of the story picked up a lot faster than it did with other novels we've read, especially with Frankenstein. With Frankenstein, we knew that he had created a monster from early in the novel, but nothing significant happened for a majority of the novel until their first confrontation and the end. With Jekyll and Hyde, we knew all along what the end was like, but it took the entire (really short, admittedly) novel to have any real drama between the characters. So far in Dracula, their has been plenty of action and intense situations, keeping me interested.
I think the big difference with Dracula is that he was not created in the story and has been around and a villain much longer. He also needs human blood to survive, which is much different then someone like Hyde who was just pure evil for the sack of being evil.
I think all of novels we red portray a monster. and the monsters are ugly and evil, even kill somebody. there are some differences among Frankenstain, Jekyll and Hyde, Dracula. In Frankenstain and Jekyll, the monsters were created by human. but in Dracula, the monster was not.
Dracula, unlike the Monster in Frankenstein and Hyde from the Strange Case, was created by a monster. The other "monster" were created by humans. Dracula is not simply evil like the other two. He drinks blood to sustain his life. Hyde is evil for pleasure and the Monster becomes evil in order to seek revenge.
All these novels portray these monsters whose appearances are so scary and their behaviors are evil. But the difference is the monsters in Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde are created by using science technology,however Dracula isn't. And Dracula is more smart than another monsters. Through his reactions to Jonathan Harker, we can know he is steady and has a lot of knowledge. His power is so huge.
The two are very different. In the other two novels the monsters were created by someone, but Dracula is the monster not a creator of a monster.There are also a lot more characters in Dracula then we have previously seen. In Frankenstein and Jekyll/Hyde the whole story centered around a few main characters, but there are many different stories to keep track of in Dracula.
Dracula as a monster is completely different than the other two monsters we have read about so far. The other monsters were both created unnaturally, and they were both evil for reasons Dracula had nothing to do with. Dracula is only evil because it is necessary for him to stay alive and healthy, while the other two monsters are evil for pleasure and revenge.
In dracula he was not just created or just changed he has been alive for a long time and he lives for blood the similarities are that they all seem to start out as a love story.
I think Dracula seems to be the most different from the other two novels. The other novels sort of dealt with science creating a monster, whereas this guy was just always a vampire. The dracula story jumps into the horror very quickly whereas in the other books it was more built up. The only similarity I could think of is how he can transform into a bat and how jekyll transformed into hyde.
In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein the monsters had not purposeful motive for evil. Whereas Dracula needs the blood of others humans to survive. Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein were both created by humans due to a failed experiment. All of the monters are eerie, however, they are all scary in different ways. Dracula is very creepy looking, while Frankenstein and Hyde are more frightening.
Dracula is not as monsterous, i feel like, comparted to the other to. If anything he is more like a freak because his features are much more appealing. His violence is really need based instead of out of anger, malice, or revenge. Dracula merely needs the blood to survive so i feel like he is more humaine in the since that he acts more civilized and acts out of need instead of anger. However it is similar how he is a form changer sort of like Jekyll/Hyde.
Unlike Frankenstein and Dr. J and Mr. H, Dracula is a unique monster because he was not created or formed by human. He just enjoys seeking blood which is what he needs to stay alive. In the other two novels the evil was done solely on choice.
