Vampire

Williamson started the book, The Lure of the Vampire, while studying of the novel Dracula. She believes that Dracula has dominated the understanding of the vampire in the twenty century. In the similar way to the ordinary people, I think that Vampire is a group of people who is immortal and feeding on blood originally. It is interesting to find out that the real Dracula in the history was only a cruel prince but not a vampire and drank people blood. The article suggested that the concept of the Vampire was changing over time. For example, the Dracula was considered as sexual repression in the Victorian age. The dissection part of the first chapter is very impressed me because I feel it is inhuman that the Anatomy Act was created to give the right to dissect poor people and they treated the corpse as an "object" and a "nuisance".
