In Bram Stokers Dracula, Count Dracula represents a homosexual figure, who in the Victorian era was seen as an inversion of the "typical" male figure. Diana Kindron states that the Victorian idea of ​​a homosexual was that of a male body fused with a female soul. This is exactly what Count Dracula represents in Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula. By Amanda Podonsky, “The Count seems to be an exaggerated representation of the concept regarding the “evils” of abnormality and how they can spread and infect. This shows how Dracula represents the fear of the Victorians of that time of something abnormal, in this case homosexuality. Bram Stoker writes to the Count about the existence of this fear. It is a poison that seeks to infect all of England: “Thanks to them I have known your great England, and to know it is to love it” (Stoker 26) with its anomaly, its homosexual tendencies. This made Victorians fear that homosexualism, when introduced into a pure society, could create large-scale corruption, as stated by Amanda Podonsky. Dracula's brides advance on Jonathon, vigorously seducing him towards sex or feeding, when Dracula enters the room and claims Jonathon as his own. , “How dare you touch him when I’ve forbidden it? This man belongs to me! Be careful how you meddle with him, or you'll have to deal with me! (Driver 47). This verbal attack by the Count against his wives suggests that Dracula possesses Jonathon and that they cannot feed on him. Women tend to make sexual advances, as homosexuality was frowned upon in this era, so Stoker does not explicitly have Dracula make advances on Jonathon, but instead Dracula is the hero. Dracula stops the confrontation and carries Jonathon to his bed and undresses him, for which Jonathon is grateful. Which is almost middle of paper......he eats dinner without Jonathon every night while Jonathon is his captive. The blood of a male representative is preferred, whether through the feminine vessel that men pour into or through the masculine symbolism of a wolf. The Count may not need strictly male blood but he seems to favor it. Rather, it is a stereotype among the homosexual population. Since they are gay, they no longer participate in what is considered normal, like eatWorks CitedStoker, Bram Dracula. New York: Signet Classics, 1978. Print. Kindron, Diana.
