Abstract
John William Polidori can be considered the father of the modern vampire. The legend itself lived long before Polidori, but he created the character that would change the way readers of Gothic fiction perceived the vampire. This paper will focus on the vampire protagonist of John Polidori’s short story “The Vampyre”. It will research how the story fits into the frames of Gothic fiction. Then it will briefly discuss the long history of vampire characters in mythologies, with a special accent on Croatian legends. The main part will focus on the description of Lord Ruthven and his characteristics. To further deepen the analysis of the character, the paper will research Lord Ruthven’s victims and try to understand his motifs for destruction. The last part of the paper will summarize all major points of the characterization and conclude why this character has influenced such a radical change in the perception of vampires in general.
