Howell’s Editha is about a woman who is obsessed with war. She wants her fiancé George, to go to the war so he can prove his love for her. George winds up going to the war and getting killed. Before, she knew he would accept her offer, she wrote a letter to break up with him and she put it in a show box. When she got the news she went to his mother’s house, and kept her promise to him to take care of her. But when she got there, Editha had no idea that George’s mother had read the letter she put into the box of things she gave George, and she retaliated against Editha. Lieber’s The girl with the hungry eyes is about a model that has some vampire like abilities. She never smiles but people say that she has a strange hunger in her eyes. One day she just magically appears at a studio with a photographer to take her picture and out of nowhere clients want to start working with her. One-day different people start to come up dead with bites or signs of a struggle. The photographer got suspicious and one …show more content…

Not all vampires have to bite you. I’m pretty sure all vampires like blood, but they all don’t have to bite you. Some vampires can use their sex appeal to capture or lure you. For instance, the model in this story never had to bite a victim to kill them. This story also tells that a woman’s charm is also very dangerous. The model never had to gain or work for the attention of the men in this story, but she still managed to make them go crazy over her. She used her skills to charm her way to the top. The devil comes in different forms. I say this because, the model really was convincing in the story, just like the snake/devil in bible that made Eve eat from the tree of knowledge in the bible. The devil will also present you with objects that you might not want, but all of a sudden you can get the urge to want and that was basically the model’s

  • Thesis On Dracula And Religion

    332 Words  | 2 Pages

    The topic I have chosen for my essay is how Dracula is meant to remind society of the importance of religion, specifically Christianity, in Stoker’s time. I intend to do this through analyzing symbols in Dracula, drawing connections between these symbols and Christianity, and analyzing the implications Stoker attempts to make. I chose this topic because vampires and their sacrilegious implications, such as burning when touching a cross, have always been of interest to me, hence why I chose to study Dracula in the first place. My thesis is: Stoker uses Count Dracula as symbol to represent what society may become if they abandon religious beliefs.

  • The Role Of Social Norms In Bram Stoker's Dracula

    285 Words  | 2 Pages

    Option 1: Social Norms Lucy is a character who in the beginning follows the social norms for women of her time. Lucy believes that when marrying, her future husband should have knowledge of events going on in her days. She proves this when she writes in a letter to Mina, “You will tell him, because I would, if I were in your place, certainly tell Arthur. A woman ought to tell her husband everything—don’t you think so, dear?”(61). Now that Lucy is a vampire, obviously her idea of social norms changes.

  • Editha By W. D Howells Satire

    1283 Words  | 6 Pages

    She thinks he should enlist and take part in the great war and be heroic and manly since the war is "glorious" to her. Finally, her fiancé George enlists, but he is sadly killed in action. Editha has little to no remorse at the end of the story because she thinks that he died heroically for her and their county In my opinion, W.D. Howell's "Editha" is a romantic satire. I have many examples of how Howell's use of satire contributes to and takes away from the effectiveness of the story.

  • Suddenly Sexual Women In Bram Stoker's Dracula Summary

    1830 Words  | 8 Pages

    Feminist Reading: Dracula between Beauvoir’s and Roth’s Ideas In her article, “Suddenly Sexual Women in Bram Stoker’s Dracula” Phyllis Roth argues that Dracula is a misogynistic novel which is obvious in the system of power in which men are dominant and active figures whereas women are just followers and obedient to their system. She draws on Simon de Beauvoir’s idea that “ambivalence as an intrinsic quality of Eternal Feminine”, in order to show that women are victims to men powers. In her chapter, “Myth and Reality”, Beauvoir discusses the way that anybody in the society, specially men, doesn’t do their job in taking a step towards the oppressed women, but to act just like what the system of myth impose them to act.

    The Devil can be beautiful, after all, he was God’s favorite. Looks can be immensely deceiving, even the Bible has many verses about how not everything is really what it seems to be, such as, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 24:4, 2 Corinthians 11:14, and the ever so famous, Genesis 3:4. A warning that can be seen in both, “Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates, is that not everything that is charming is impeachable. “No wonder, for even Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light,” 2 Corinthians 11: 14.

In the same time Dracula is presented with some super powers as hypnosis, telepathy, shape shifting (when he changed into a wolf) and super strength. In the opposite to the ‘Twilight’ vamps Dracula has more then call of blood problems, he is sensitive to garlic, holy water, stakes and crucifixes.

    “As ruler of Walachia, Vlad became notorious for the brutal tactics he employed against his enemies, including torture, mutilation, and mass murder” (Was Dracula a Real Person). These acts earned him the name Vlad Tepes, or Vlad the Impaler, as he preferred impalement as his method of killing. “One of the most notable instances of Vlad’s sadistic acts concerned the impalement of hundreds of Saxon merchants and a place called Timpa Hill. Vlad allegedly feasted among the field of dying bodies as they writhed in agony, and was even said to drink the blood of his victims from a bowl” (The Legend of Dracula). These rumours are probably what inspired Stoker to create the legendary, bloodthirsty vampire named

  • Female Sexuality In Bram Stoker's Dracula

    667 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the novel Dracula, Bram Stoker highlights the theme of sexuality that challenge ideas of sex to both the female and male characters. The author objectifies the female characters in the novel to be over sexualized and portrays sex to empower women. Stoker may present the theme of female sexuality; however, he demonstrates gender inequality triumphs at the end leaving women in the shadows again. Women in the eighteenth century hardly had any type of power outside of overseeing the household and they probably contained much less power expressing any type of sexual emotions. Stoker’s novel gives readers a different perspective of the female sexuality as if almost empowering women and stating that they too can be sexual creatures like men.

    His character reminds me of Rip Van Winkle’s obedience to circumstances, but in case of Geason, obedience to someone’s ideas. His death is an obvious end of the person, who has no own ideas and “targets.” At the same time, Mrs. Gearson clearly (realistic) sees all the pluses and minuses of war and the Romanticism of Editha. This realistic views came to Mrs. Geason from her life experience.
