Abstract
Dracula is a well known character in gothic fiction and has a great deal of following in pop culture. He is typically seen as a monster who preys on people without having any remorse; at least that is true for Dracula created by Bram Stoker. Readers do not know the true intention of Dracula’s actions and his reason for revenge, which makes him one of the scariest monsters. However, the sequel to Stoker’s novel, Dracula the Un-dead, written by Stoker’s greatgrandnephew Dacre Stoker and screenwriter Ian Holt, changes this premise. They show Dracula as an unselfish, romantic hero who is trying to defend the ones he loves from his enemy, who is also a vampire, Elizabeth Bathory. Not only have they changed the perception of Dracula’s character, but they have also based the plot and other characters on the movie adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula directed by F. F. Coppola. By basing the novel on the movie adaptation rather than the source text, that is Stoker's novel, they have altered the timeline of the source novel's events and, consequently, altered the nature of Dracula's character, which is the thesis of this research. The aim of the paper is to substantiate this thesis by comparing the protagonists of the two Dracula novels and of Coppola's adaptation in order to illustrate the discrepancy between the motives for their actions and to show that in subsequent adaptations Dracula is represented as a more human and humane character.
