'Is Dracula alive in the world?'

Well, that's really a funny question. However, the answer might be: YES. Dracula is still living throughout history. He's flying through our brains, strengthening our blood to become strong and invincible. He's an example of pure justice applied to those that dare to enslave the others. Thus he is to be remembered forever. Dare to ask him for some strength when you're weak, he will be more than happy to share it with you.

Asked by Wiki User

Roughly seven months. The first entry made by Jonathan Harker is made on the 3rd of May. the last entry is made November 6th. It's longer if you count the note at the end wich is like an epilogue. This is seven years later. Mina and Jonathan have had a child and named it after all the other men in the story. Most of the action is in that seven month period though.

What actor immortalized Dracula?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many actors have played Dracula on film, stage and television. The first one to really bring Dracula to the attention of film-goers was Bela Lugosi in the 1930s, followed by Christopher Lee in the Hammer films of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Later on, actors like Frank Langella (who also played Dracula on Broadway) and Gary Oldman have recreated interest in the Dracula legend. But to answer your original question, I would have to say Bela Lugosi.

Asked by Wiki User

the type of people that live in whitby is very specific. Whitby originated from the word WIt-a- by or something which in some othe language means "White Town" which is exactly what it is. Whitby is full of white people and it always has been untill now when all the overflow people from scarborough come and settle there. Anyway, its a amizeing place to live with great senerioury and people. Liveing there gives a sence of peace- like you escaped from the bust noisy city into and town yet, your so close to toronto. It has a rich culture, horistric sites, and the best private schools. Whitby generally is better to live in than toronto because there are no large business or big residental towers. There is a lacking of crime other than teenagers smokeing pot. Whitby allows you to escape the city and gives you a sence that your in a better place. I would live thare than in toronto any day.

How did Dracula get his name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Draco's mother, Narcissa, is a member of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. This family believe strongly in pure-blood and that no witch or wizard should ever love or befriend anyone who had muggle blood within their family. Any that believe otherwise were stricken from the family tree. Like most of the family members, Draco's name comes from a constellation that has a connection to many mythological Greek legends. The constellation is said to symbolize a dragon with a hundred heads that Hercules had to defeat in his Twelve Labors. In Latin, Draco translates to mean 'dragon' and in Greek it means 'serpent'. It is believed that Draco's name was also chosen because of the fact that Lucifer, or Satan, is often referred to as a dragon in the Christian religion and Draco belongs to a dark, evil family. His father, Lucius, is a Death Eater which is the evil army led by the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Briefly: the original historical Dracula philosophy comes from South-Eastern Europe, Romania. It was then used as a source of inspiration to Bram Stoker's delightful book 'Dracula'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The story of Dracula was born, edited and partly based on South Eastern European culture. 'Dracula' novel was written by Bram Stoker, who spent several years researching South Eastern Europe's folklore, geography and stories about zburători (night-flying dead) and vampiri (vampires) and thus became addicted to the local mythology and especially to the word dracul. This word originates from the Romanian language, basically meaning 'the devil'. It is also frequently used as to define 'dragon'.

The fictional (made-up) character of Dracula is inspired from bloodthirsty ruler Vlad Țepeș that lived in Romania, Eastern Europe, between 1431 and 1476. His name was originally Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia and Transylvania - middle and southern parts of Romania. He was also known as Vlad III Drăculea, as nicknamed by his father.

Vlad Țepeș father's name was called Vlad II Dracul(no 'a' at the end), he was a member of a secret knight fraternity called The Order of the Dragon, protecting European freedom and Christianity from Turkish and Muslim invasions. As a son of Vlad Dracul, little Vlad Țepeș was nicknamed Drăculea, which in Romanian language translates 'the son of the devil'.

Vlad III Țepeș (Drăculea) is most famously known as 'Vlad the Impaler'. He was called so due to his preferred method of executing bad people, boyars and invaders (by leaving them die slowly, while impaled on sticks).

The beautiful book 'Dracula' is a nice fictive story, based on inspirational fantasy. Historians argue that Bram Stoker knew little of real historical character Vlad III Țepeș (Drăculea), except for his nickname. In his fictional book, Stoker includes no real details about Vlad's reign and does not mention his use of impalement.

Summary:

Where did Dracula originate from?

Dracula relates to South-Eastern Europe, Romania. It was firstly a Romanian ruler to be called 'Drăculea' (Vlad III Țepeș of Transylvania and Wallachia). His bloody personality inspired Bram Stoker to write the book 'Dracula'. The book is based on inspirational fantasy and does not relate on true facts.
