weirdly not much actual dracula content, he himself is irrelevant as fuck. i liked mina a lot more in the book than any of the movies, also found the bits about renfield really interesting, he's definetely my favourite character. got really attached to all the characters, actually. hearing the story from all their points of view really makes you connect with them. the vampirism almost feels like a subplot, the real focus is the other characters and how they cope. i think if it hadn't been for bela lugosi, dracula wouldn't be THE vampire character. he's kind of boring. he's interesting when he's with jonathan but after that he's whatever.
