Dracula by Bram Stoker

[mediaman]

How does Stoker use each caricature's point of view to establish his own belief about social and spiritual view of the Victorian area?

Having read it, I found the characters completely one-dimensional, with no real development throughout the book. The prose is flaccid and devoid of any real style, and the middle two hundred pages are tedious and vacuous, full only of men and women making emotional speeches every other page....

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest... I was expecting a real Gothic horror when I took it out the library, and found myself bored stiff after the first fifty pages.

before you write your essay you need to look up the difference between caricature and character. I'm not joking.

I agree with jno. But it's still a great book. Try York Notes.

Whatever happened to students working out the answers for themselves? Why, back in my day...

The thing that irks me about this sort of thing isn't that people ask for help with their home work but that they are so work shy they can't even be bother to phrase the question differently. They fail to realise that 1. it's easy to spot it's a home work questions and 2.somethig like the following would get a much more positive response.

"Dracula, I need help with a home work assignment, I need to explain how Stoker used ...... any points you could give me would be great, thanks in advance".

People would be much more willing to help in such circumstances.

Bram Stoker is over-rated. Ever read "Lair of The White Worm"?

It's a load of poop.
