Dracula

The Un-Dead are immortals with very unique powers. In Stoker’s (1965) novel, Dracula, Count Dracula was among the Un-Dead in the form of a vampire. Van Hesling explains the Un-Dead as “. . . she is not dead. I did not say she was alive, my child; I did not think it. I go no further than to say that she might be Un-Dead” (p. 206). One of the special powers of the vampire is the power to attract its victims with unconscious lust and love (p. 215). What I will prove is that those powers of love and lust that the Un-Dead planned to use to attract more victims, will turn and become the powers that ultimately destroy them.

It is out of the lore and experience of the ancients and of those who have studied the powers of the Un-Dead. When they become such, there comes with the change the curse of immortality; they cannot die, but must go on age after age adding new victims and multiplying the evils of the world, for all that die from the preying of the Un-Dead becomes themselves Un-Dead, and prey on their kind (Stoker, 1965, pp. 214-215).

You see now it was the power of the attraction that brought Jonathan, Mina, Dr. Seward, Quincy, Arthur and Van Hesling together. For Arthur, Quincy and Dr. Seward were the three gentlemen that had made their marriage proposals to Lucy. Mina was her very best friend “Your loving Mina” (p. 56) was how she signed her letters to Lucy. You see all of them came for their love of Lucy. Arthur tells the group he knows why they came to help. “I know you loved my poor Lucy” (p. 230). Van Hesling reminded them there were more souls to free and that they all needed to remain together to complete the task. “But there remains a greater task: to find out the author of all this sorrow and to stamp him out” (p. 218). The group agreed that this would be the only way that Mina’s soul would be free of Dracula. They each took an oath to not let this vampire continue his evils. “ “And I!” said Lord Godalming, each of them in turn kneeling to her to take the oath” (p. 333).

Count Dracula bit Lucy. Upon her biting a strange instance occurs in her love life. Lucy recalls these events to Mina. “My dear, it never rains but it pours. How true the old proverbs are. Here I am, who shall be twenty in September, and yet I never had a proposal till to-day, not a real proposal, and to-day I have had three” (p. 57). The attraction of the future victims has just begun because Lucy becomes very ill from all the bites. Quincy, Arthur, Dr. Seward and even a specialist Van Hesling do there best to keep her alive because they all love her very much. It is to no avail. This is where her work as the Un-Dead begins. Dracula as her master has retained her power of attraction into the Un-Dead life. Van Hesling tells his friends just how Lucy is to her power of attraction to lure in more victims. “The career of t
