"The Book "Dracula" has created many arguments of blood, power, sexual symbolism, political and even magical discussions.

After all the book itself is Stokers' Frankenstein monster, he has taken from nearly every aspect of his life that has been influential to him in some way. From the holidays in Cruden Bay and Whitby to the people in his life who became the characters of his book."
