Even though the subject is horrifying, the classic male pursuer of a beautiful woman is always romantic. The fact that the male is supernaturally attractive, and overpowering make the novel a classic "chick" novel. There is something compelling about a strong male figure and a weaker female figure. Note that there is never any overt sex in the novel, merely hints. While by today's standards this is quaint, the underlying currents of submission by the female is directly sexual in nature. Romance usually involves a dominant-submissive characterization, most often male-female pairings. The fact that Dracula is so overpowering in this feature makes this novel compellingly romantic in a perverted way. The ending with the heroine being redeemed by her "human" lover is the most romantic note of the whole thing.
It isn't! Not in the usual sense. Maybe it explores the nature of a variety of human loves. The comradely love between the Vampire Hunters,
Mina and Lucy,
Van Helsing and those who he calls children,
Van Helsing and his mad wife to whom he remains faithful,
Van Helsing and God
Mina and Jonathan,
Lucy and Arthur
Lucy's suitors and Lucy.
The Vampire hunters and Mina
In my opinion and contrary to film versions, I do not believe that Dracula loves at all!!
