Stereotypes in Bram Stoker's Dracula

[gazellemarvi]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help on Bram Stoker's Dracula. I have a huge Oral Commentary due soon, and I need some more ideas. My chosen topic is "Stereotypical Behaviour in Bram Stoker's Dracula". So basically what I'm supposed to expand on is what readers today would find stereotypical about the novel. I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas on some of the stereotypes/stereopical behaviour shown in the book other than the prominent 'Damsel in Distress' theme, and the cliche characteristics of Count Dracula himself.

Thank you very, very much.

Look under the keyword 'vampires and werewolves' or 'vampires' on a search and I'm sure you'll find an interesting thread. There's a person who has written a thesis on vampires around here somewhere, might be better to ask him (I think him) :)
