Frankenstein however does not have the urge for world domination; rather he has the need to obtain knowledge, which no one has. Frankenstein's ambition and determination to artificially create life later turned into a deadly obsession " One mans life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of knowledge which I sought ". Victor, Dracula and the Aliens ambition and determination is teamed with the need for power.
~Power is a key element in Alien, Dracula and Frankenstein. Dracula and the Alien struggle to obtain power by killing or transforming all humans to their kind and after succeeding to finally dominate the world with their power. Frankenstein yearns to grasp the power of knowledge, which no body else has yet to contemplate or even put into practice.
~A clearly prevalent and outstanding motif is that of religion, biblical reference and symbolism. The most important religious comparison in Frankenstein are the similarities between Victor as God and the monster as Lucifer this is prevalent when the "monster- says "I am thy creature, I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel-. The icons of Christian and particularly Catholic worship appear throughout Dracula with great frequency. In the early chapters the peasants of Eastern Europe upon Jonathon Harker's offer him a crucifix to protect him from Dracula. Later, Van Helsing arrives armed with crosses and communion wafers. There are also many other points where religious duty come into play, Renfield thinks that Dracula is his god and must do everything that is asked of him.
~By the time Dracula lands in England and begins to work his evil on Lucy, we understand that the impending battle between good and evil will hinge upon female sexuality. Dracula succeeds in transforming Lucy after her transformation the men vow to keep a careful eye on Mina worried that they will lose yet another model of Victorian womanhood to the dark side.
