The Characters of Dracula
Dracula is a nobleman with a looking of a tall old man with thick eyebrows, white teeth and sharp tucks, long claws and with red inflaming eyes which are an indicator to his lust and desire in the fresh red blood. He also characterized by wearing black formal wear, in considering that the black color symbolizes to the power of evil and the hatred with features of horror and cruelty that are shown on his face. He has lived in Transylvania for hundreds of years in a partially destroyed castle of his family that is located in the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania.
Dracula is descended from an aristocrat family that used to have authority and all the power of evil in Transylvania, but they had been perished and lost all their power for unclear reason. His main goal was always to return his family’s power and preserve its honor. London was his target to move to, due to its large number of population where he can freely feed on the young people’s blood. This way he will regain his strength, grow younger and turn his victims into vampires with dead bodies but undead souls to join his kingdom.
He’s also one of the greatest and most powerful vampires with an enormous vitality and energy that no human-being can have. Some of his most important abilities were the ability of changing himself and becoming elemental dust or mist; transforming himself into a bat or a wolf at the night time when he plans to capture a prey; the ability of control the weather and commanding any animal; has the power to hypnotize his victims. In addition to all that the way he deceives the people by meeting them with a normal human-being appearance, as he did with the lawyer Jonathan Harker on the first time of meeting him. Although all the power that Count Dracula has, which were the source of terror and fear among the population of Transylvania, he still has several weaknesses to restrict his powers. He’s powerless and can’t advance when facing a piece of communion wafer, garlic or a cross; he fears the crowded placed: not inventing him home prevents him of reaching to his prey. He gets weaker around the sunrise and the sunset and goes to sleep in the sacred soil that is made by the ash of his family’s dead bodies.
