To us readers, women are shown as prostitutes and also have a parallel with the creatures of the Sirens, in particular with Dracula's brides. They attract men and use their sexuality to do whatever they want with them. They are described as having very thick and juicy lips and Harker also becomes sexually aroused by this. Van Helsing and even Dracula are presented to us readers as intelligent. They may be good or bad, but they are not judged as harshly as women. The women in the book go through a sad transformation for the worse, from pure women to whores. There aren't many women in Dracula, but Stroker presents them in different kinds of specific ways. few Dracula women in the Madonna and Whore situation. Mina, who is a shy and quiet type of girl. She spends days and nights waiting to know what is happening to her love Jonathon. The fact that Mina is so pure, it should be the exact opposite of what Dracula's bride said at the beginning of the book, which tries to ruin Harker's plan to save himself from the marriage. The word "whore" is used to describe women who suck blood and are just plain evil. Women like this are usually called Sirens, like those at sea, who try to trick men into seducing them so that they can do evil deeds with them. Mina in the novel “Dracula”, is considered the ideal symbol of femininity in “Dracula”. She submits to her husband in the same way that Dracula's wives and Lucy's three admirers... middle of paper... ...I would submit to him. He also begins to suck the blood of children, which in normal situations he would have protected. This shows us readers how powerful Dracula is and how much he can control women to the point of overcoming their maternal instincts. Dracula tells us that the ideal woman is someone who is pure, kind, loving, protective, and of high morality. This story also tells us about the type of woman who is controlled, manipulated, abused and suffers the loss of innocence and purity. The biggest thing is to fall from God's grace. The femininity in this book is very simple and to the point. Either you are on the side of good, which is being pure, good, virtuous and maternal, or on those who have joined the side of evil and become women of sexual promiscuity, who use men through sexual ways and live life without the grace of God. himself.
