Thanks for checking out my blog. I...Hi Arabella - <br /><br />Thanks for checking out my blog. I do agree with you that Dracula can be viewed as a bit misogynistic, especially when viewed through the eyes of a modern female. I think there is something to be said about the fact that women are clearly viewed as the weaker sex being prayed upon by a dark demon who they are unable to resist without the help of powerful men. I mean Dracula doesn't have any male victims, unlike more modern day vampires who don't seem to discriminate as much. I try not to read too much into classics like this because they were written at a time when views of women were very different from today, but it does make for fun discussion :) Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll have to check it out. Thanks again for visiting my blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807544478924758596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427426316918440146.post-43500412158791857352013-02-28T05:19:44.044-05:002013-02-28T05:19:44.044-05:00I always found Dracula a bit misogynist especially...I always found Dracula a bit misogynist especially in terms of the character of Lucy, did you find that?<br />I just noticed your review via bookblogs and since I have just read another vampire gothic novel thought I would check it out, you might find the novel I read of interest if gothic vampire fiction is your thing, it is the Tim Powers novel Hide me among the Graves. It is no Interview with a vampire more Buffy vampire slayer with pre-raphaelite artists and poets.<br />Enjoyed your review.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824748902803492123noreply@blogger.com
