Stoker

Williamson references many different interpretations of Stoker's Dracula that work to provide examples of how the narration may represent different aspects of Stoker's society. There are Freudian infrences made regarding Dracula's apparent "Oedipus complex" as well as a section devoted to the feminist point of view where it is argued that the scene where the vampire Lucy is killed is really just a glorified "rape" scene. Can't entertainment ever just be accepted at face value? Aren't some of these concepts a little over analytical? Or, should there always be an accepted place for deeper analyical interpretation of entertainment?
