Now THIS is an excellent article. I read the Bram Stoker novel
more than once, and always enjoyed the first person atmosphere created by
reading first, Jonathan Harker's Journal, then later on in the book, reading
Mina Harker's Journal.
Here's a fact that most Dracula fans don't know. It was
HOLLYWOOD that translated the Transylvanian word DRACUL as DEVIL. This is
an INCORECT translation. The REAL translation is DRAGON. Vlad II, was known to
his people as the patriarch of THE CLAN OF THE DRAGON. Vlad II was a very
real hero to his people. He Didn't go about impaling just anyone at random for
his own pleasure. He DID impale Turk soldiers and left them for their comrades
to find, when he realized that his own soldiers were losing the battle with the
Islamic attackers. It was this act that terrified the Turks, and drove them from
Transylvanian soil.
