Abstract: The vampire figure of the nineteenth century literature has been shaped into asupple metaphor malleable to the impactsof the era’s developments and discoveriessuch as Darwinian theories, Freudian discoveries as well as some quasi-scientific theories such as Cesare Lombroso’s criminology. Dracula represents a narrative written from different perspectives or ‘points of view’, encompassing an array of fields—medicine, ethnography, imperialist ideologies, criminal theory, theories of degeneration and evolution, physiognomy, ideas of feminism and so on. There is a sudden change in the nature of the vampire from folklore during the Late Victorian period due to these scientific advancements when the vampire ceased to be merely an impulsive folkloric construction and resulted in, after the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a significant product of the entertainment industry of the centuries that followed.
