Dracula 读后感 英文.doc

DraculaSince I have seen the Twilight, I was tempted in vampires. Usually, they are described to be handsome, fierce, hematophagous. Dracula is such a novel written about a vampire. Actually, it is an epistolary novel as series of diaries and letters. It has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction. The tale begins withJonathan Harker, a newly qualified Englishsolicitor, journeying by train andcarriagefrom England toCount Draculas crumbling, remote castle (situated in theCarpathian Mountainson the border of Transylvania,BukovinaandMoldavia). The purpose of his mission is to provide legal support to Dracula for areal estatetransaction overseen by Harkers employer, Peter Hawkins, ofExeterin England. At first enticed by Draculas gracious manner, Harker soon discovers that he has become a prisoner in the castle. He also begins to see disquieting facets of Draculas nocturnal life. However, things soon change to be very unnormal. It is surprising to find that Dracula is the evil creature, vampire. Harkers fiance, Mina, and her friend, Lucy soon become his prey. Later, Lucy and her mother are dead and Mina is controlled by Dracula. They get help from Professor Van Helsing, they drive Dracula back to his castle and finally destroy him. The book closes with a note about Minas and Jonathans married life and the birth of their first-born son, whom they name after all four members of the party, but refer to only as Quincey in remembrance of their American friend.The movie Bram Stokers Dracula is adapted from the novel. The characters in the film are quite similar to that in the book, but the theme of the movie is love and it highlights the hopeless love of Dracula. From my point of view, I show pity on Dracula, why he becomes a vampire? Maybe he has already known it is useless, everything is made in vain. Just as Elena and Stefans love in the Vampires dairy, their first meeting is in a sad mood, the ending can be very painful. As vampires are very dangerous, it is usually very breathtaking to love a vampire. But women have a sprite of adventure and expect to experience the forbiddances. Frankly, it is unwise. This is an interesting novel and its ending is not so happy in some degree.
