Why did Bram Stoker create draula?

Answer 1

Because everyone starts off with a idea of hearing or seeing something. He either saw Dracula with his own eyes...or heard about it from the old legends and decided to make it a story of his own.

Answer 2

Bram Stoker created the character of Dracula in his novel to tap into Victorian fears about sexuality, foreign invaders, and the unknown. Dracula represented a figure of both attraction and repulsion, embodying themes of power, seduction, and the fear of the "other." Stoker's creation of Dracula also helped shape modern vampire lore.
