Detailed explanation-1: -One of the major Dracula themes is good vs. evil. Dracula symbolizes the epitome of evil. Not only is he a monster himself, but he turns other people into monsters against their will.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dracula is one of the most famous pieces of English literature. Many of the book’s characters have entered popular culture as archetypal versions of their characters; for example, Count Dracula as the quintessential vampire, and Abraham Van Helsing as an iconic vampire hunter.
Detailed explanation-3: -To create his immortal antihero, Count Dracula, Stoker certainly drew on popular Central European folktales about the nosferatu (“undead”), but he also seems to have been inspired by historical accounts of the 15th-century Romanian prince Vlad Tepes, or Vlad the Impaler.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dracula’s full name is Count Dracula. Joking aside, while Dracula is a fictional character from a Bram Stoker novel, the widely popular character is inspired by a real-life Walachian Prince. His name is Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracul the III, and his own life is in part the stuff of legends.
