The Death of Dracula), a Hungarian silent film which allegedly premiered in 1921, though this release date has been questioned by some scholars. [132] Very little of the film has survived, and David J. Skal notes that the cover artist for the 1926 Hungarian edition of the novel was more influenced by the second adaptation of Dracula, F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu. [133] Critic Wayne E. Hensley writes that the narrative of Nosferatu differs significantly from the novel, but that characters have clear counterparts. [134] Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, initiated legal action against the studio behind Nosferatu, Prana. The legal case lasted two or three years, [p] and in May 1924, Prana agreed to destroy all copies of the film. [136] [q] Christopher Lee as the title character in Dracula (1958)

Dracula also possesses great wealth, and has Romani people in his homeland who are loyal to him as servants and protectors.

Wasserman, Judith (1977). "Women and Vampires: Dracula as a Victorian Novel". Midwest Quarterly. 18. Dracula leaves his castle and boards a Russian ship, the Demeter, taking along with him 50 boxes of Transylvanian soil, which he needs to regain his strength and rest during daylight. During the voyage to Whitby, a coastal town in northern England, he sustains himself on the ship's crew members. Only one body is later found, that of the captain, who is found tied up to the ship's helm. The captain's log is recovered and tells of strange events that had taken place during the ship's journey. Dracula leaves the ship in the form of a dog and runs up the 199 steps to the graveyard of St Mary's Church in the shadow of the Whitby Abbey ruins. Harker enters Castle Dracula, has supernatural experiences, and unknowingly aids in Dracula's coming to England, putting his fiancé Mina and her friend Lucy in danger. Harker admits while writing this description that he is 'not in heart to describe beauty', as he has realised that he is a 'prisoner' in the castle, with 'doors, doors, doors everywhere'. The repetition of 'doors' emphasises the impact the setting of the castle is having on Harker. He feels as though he is slowly being driven to insanity, with no escape in sight - just more doors.

Norton Critical Edition (1997) edited by Nina Auerbach and David J. Skal. Stoker, Bram. "Chapter 18, Doctor Seward's Diary". Dracula (PDF). p.343. Thus, whereas he can do as he will within his limit, when he have his earth-home, his coffin-home, his hell-home, the place unhallowed, as we saw when he went to the grave of the suicide at Whitby, still at other time he can only change when the time come. This indeed encourages the reader to identify the Count with the Voivode Dracula first mentioned by him in Chapter 3, the one betrayed by his brother: Vlad III Dracula, betrayed by his brother Radu the Handsome, who had chosen the side of the Turks. But as noted by the Dutch author Hans Corneel de Roos, in Chapter 25, Van Helsing and Mina drop this rudimentary connection to Vlad III and instead describe the Count's personal past as that of "that other of his race" who lived "in a later age". By smoothly exchanging Vlad III for a nameless double, Stoker avoided his main character being unambiguously linked to a historical person traceable in any history book.

A monstrous reputation

Ludlam, Harry (1962). A Biography of Dracula: The Life Story of Bram Stoker. W. Foulsham. ISBN 978-0-572-00217-6. Dracula, practically as old as religion itself, stands as a satanic figure, most obviously in his appearance—pointed ears, fangs, and flaming eyes—but also in his consumption of blood. Dracula’s bloodthirstiness is a perversion of Christian ritual, as it extends his physical life but cuts him off from any form of spiritual existence. Those who fall under the count’s spell, including Lucy Westenra and the three “weird sisters,” find themselves cursed with physical life that is eternal but soulless. Stoker takes pains to emphasize the consequences of these women’s destruction. The Count's intended identity is later commented by Professor Van Helsing, referring to a letter from his friend Arminius: Hughes, William (2000).
