Re: Book club - DRACULA discussion post!

I think on the whole Dracula as a novel makes for an interesting cultural artifact, if really showing its age at this point. It's not a GREAT novel, but it's an important one. That it went into public domain almost immediately in the US (mostly due to Stoker screwing up when he was getting it published here) is likely the reason why characters like Dracula, Van Helsing and Mina have all seen reuse in later media, often in revised forms. There's real potential in Mina as a character as long as she's not being used as a vehicle for the author's own sociopolitical views.

Aww, I didn't know that. Poor Bram! That must have sucked.

I totally agree, it's an iconic novel. Which is why we're still reading it, to see what the all the fuss is about. What made it so frustrating for me, is exactly the potential in it. Because it could have been an iconic as well as a great novel. But the preaching broke it for me.
