Dracula

Dracula "The Need for Entertainment at the Woman's Expense" After watching Francis Ford Copolla's movie rendition of the story Dracula which was originally written by Bram Stoker, I noticed he made a lot of changes to fit the preferences of today's society. One such change that I noticed was the elaboration of certain scenes that seemed to down grade women in a sexual manner. The first scene that I noticed such an elaboration was when the three vampire women terrified Jonathan Harker in Dracula's castle. In the novel of Dracula, no nudity of the three vampire women was ever mentioned. Instead, Harker describes how he feels when the women come on to him. However, since the movie relies heavily on visuals, nudity is used to get the point of sex across. Rather than showing any signs of distress and guilt as he did in the novel, Harker immediatly consents to the calls of the vampires and engages in a very sexual act with all three of them. Like the novel, but more so in the movie, the three vampire women are portrayed as mere objects of Jonathan Harker's sexual fantasy. The second scene in the movie in which an elaboration was used was when Dracula lured Lucy Westenra movie, lucy, dracula, novel, very, mina, sex, women, vulnerable, three, scene, portrayed, jonathan, harker, way, through, stoker, sexual, once, noticed, night, just, instead, however, elaboration, cannot, again, written, woman, vampire, trip, tracking, today's, style, sleepwalking, sells, rendition, persuasion, particular, over, objects, nothing, mere, married, lured, lays, is, garment, francis
