Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Grew Up... in the Scholomance, where the devil claims the tenth scholar as his due. He learned all his secrets there.

Living... for the last three hundred years in a crumbling and secluded castle in Transylvania, in the midst of the Carpathian mountains. Life is getting too predictable in Transylvania, so Dracula is considering buying a house in London. He has summoned a young lawyer named Jonathan Harker to his castle to work out the real estate details.

Profession... in charge of his estate. But he doesn’t work during the day because he is confined in a wooden box between dawn and sunset.

Interests... sucking the blood of others (which helps restore his youth), controlling the weather, flying around as a bat, and turning into a wolf. Although Dracula has special powers, he becomes helpless when it comes to two items: crucifixes and garlic.

Relationship Status... married to three brides who live with him. But three women are not enough for Dracula. He is also deeply attracted to Lucy, a sweet and innocent woman who has many admirers, and Mina, Jonathan’s fiancé and Lucy’s best friend.

Challenge... dealing with the curse of his immortality. Dracula is a vampire and cannot die, but must go on adding new victims and multiplying the evils of the world. For all that die from the preying of him become themselves Undead, and prey on their kind. It’s a circle of evil he can never escape. As he complains, "I am even more prisoner than the slave of a galley, than the madman in his cell. I long to be in the midst of the whirl and rush of humanity, to share its life, its change, its death, and all that makes it what it is."

Personality... serious, calculating, and mysterious. Everything Dracula does is carefully thought out with precision; he knows what he wants and usually gets it. Few can resist his charms and seductions, but beware of him. He is evil incarnate.
